Story

Wigan Youth Zone Dodgeball Warriors aka The Wigan Dodgeball Warriors has been established now for 3 years and the children who partake are determined and passionate about their sport.  They range from ages 8-12 and their dedication and hard work is admirable. The children have been improving their skills with the dream to represent their country in the Olympics one day.

Next year the World Dodgeball Association will be hosting its second World Cup where junior teams like ours are able to participate. This exciting event will be held at the infamous Madison Square Gardens in New York City which im sure you'll agree is in instelf a spectacle.

The Children of Wigan Youth Zone would love nothing more than to take the opportunity to compete amongst other players of the same age as well as the added bonus of experiencing some of the most amazing sights in the world.  For some though, this is simply not affordable for the families involved.  We would like to offer 8 children the chance to come along to go to the The 2018 Dodgeball World Cup and will your help we believe we can make it happen for them. The money raised will fund travel expenses to get the children to New York City to compete.

The children at Wigan Youth Zone may not ever get the chance to experience such an event without the help and generosity of others and would be able to build memories that would last a life time, as well as taking their skills to the next level and be exposed to the world of sportman and women able to take them further in their Dodgeball Careers.

Please help us fundraise for this great cause by donating what you can.
