Dodge, dip, jump and dive! No one can forget the schoolyard game of dodge ball that we all played as a kid.
Well now it’s back!
Dodge Brawl is a 64 team, co-ed, double-elimination dodge ball tournament benefiting charitable organizations that is
being produced by SMG and FLS Events, LLC in select cities across the country. Teams of at least six people compete
against each other not only for annual bragging rights, but also for the chance to win cash prizes for the local charity of
their choice. Dodge Brawl is open to the public to attend, and FREE for spectators.
Each Dodge Brawl event includes an exhibition of local and national event sponsors, local businesses and communityfocused non-profits. In 2015, Dodge Brawl events will take place in more than a dozen U.S. cities. With approximately
5000 individuals comprising more than 700 teams nationally, Dodge Brawl events will award over $30,000 to charities
across the country, all while providing the opportunity for those ages 18-65 the chance to compete to compete with (or
against) their friends, family, and co-workers, in each city’s largest venue.
“We’re extremely excited to be bringing in a new community event to the Gulf Coast region”, said SMG General Manager,
Cyndee Pennington. “It gives everyone the opportunity to come have some fun in our arena and support local charities at
the same time. We look forward to making this an annual event that the community can get excited about.”
