Dodgeball and charity went well together Thursday afternoon at Kelowna Secondary School.
To support the Central Okanagan Family Hub, the District Student Council (DSC) brought students and fundraising together with a friendly dodgeball tournament between Okanagan schools.
Though support for the Family Hub was at the forefront of the tournamentsa国际传媒檚 intentions, the teams competing against one another were still looking for that top podium finish. Like most things with high school sports teams, the pride of the win was on the line.
DSCsa国际传媒檚 Logan Braun said while competition between teams is good, the tournament was there for a reason.
