Dodging for a cause

SHIFT Happens sponsoring “Dodge Ballin’ for Acceptance” event on Feb. 24

SHIFT Happens is encouraging the community to duck, dodge, dip, and dive for a cause.

This year’s Dodge For A Cause Event is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 24 at Jeff Gym in Webster City. City. Check-in starts at 5 p.m. and the event runs from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Registration is only $5 per participant.

SHIFT Happens will be Dodge Ballin’ For Acceptance. According to the SHIFT Happens Facebook page, all money donated will go toward purchasing items that enhance student engagement and encourage inclusion with peers in the Webster City Community School District.

Students in grades five through 12, as well as families and/or community members are invited to participate. There will be 3 brackets: middle school, high school, and family/community combo. Teams of 8-10 players can register and pick their themes.

The funds will be divided equally between Sunset Heights, Pleasant View, Webster City Middle School, and Webster City High School.

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.

SHIFT Happens has held several events in the past few years to increase the awareness in the community on various prevention topics, including alcohol and other drugs. In 2014 the organization helped to raise funds for the HERO Board to restore The Webster Theater. Last year the group raised funds for the Jorden Leeper Memorial Youth Scholarship Fund.

Registration forms will be made available in school offices and various locations in the County this week.
