Dodgeball set for tonight

Dodge For A Cause returns to Jeff Gym at the Webster City Middle School tonight. Check-in starts at 5:30 p.m. and the event begins at 6 p.m.

Bee Inspired CAPP Coordinator Tiffany Larson would like registrations in by Thursday, Feb. 22 at the latest.

The first throw will start promptly at 6:30 p.m.

There will be a free will donation for all spectators who come out to see the action.

According to SHIFT Happens facilitator and Bee-Inspired CAPP Coordinator Tiffany Larson, all money donated will go toward the making of a youth mentoring program in Webster City.

“The goal of the event is to help raise funds to be able to launch a youth mentoring program and use those funds to help apply for grants and funding to implement it in the community,” Larson said.

SHIFT Happens is focused on making an impact in the community to help teens be above the influence. Their efforts have been assisted by the Bee Inspired CAPP Program through Building Families, Hamilton County Public Health, Power Up YOUth, Community & Family Resources, and the school district.

This event is spearheaded by high school students active in SHIFT Happens.

“I am a part of SHIFT Happens because the groups sole purpose is to put others before yourself and I feel that’s something worth being a part of,” said Haakon Edwards, a senior at Webster City High School.

“This group was made to help other people, so why not come out and join us,” Edwards said. “We are helping others and having a great time while doing so.”

SHIFT Happens has held several events in the past few years to increase the awareness on various prevention topics.
