Kicking Balls For A Cause - The Central Florida Community Kickball Challenge Is Back!
Online, January 6, 2011 (Newswire.com) - It's that time again - get out your tube socks, gather up your friends and bring your 'A' game to the Second Annual Community Kickball Challenge Charity Tournament with 100 percent of the proceeds being donated to the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute.
On January 29, 2011 Avalon Park will be transformed into the kickball capital of East Orlando as 32 teams from around the community come together to play in an elimination-style charity kickball tournament to benefit the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute.
All registration fees will be donated in their entirety to Sanford-Burnham. The institute is one of the anchors of the emerging life-sciences cluster dubbed "Medical City" located in Lake Nona. Collectively, the region is projected to have an economic impact in the neighborhood of $6.4 billion and generate nearly 26,000 jobs in the next 10 years, according to a recent study.
"I'm so excited to take part in this charity kickball tournament for the second year in a row," says Jennifer Thompson, president of Insight Marketing Group and co-creator of the Community Kickball Challenge. "After having so much fun last year, I hope we can end up donating even more funds this year to support cancer and diabetes research as part of Team Burnham."
Kick ball teams may consist of up to 10 players with the stipulation that at least 20 percent of the team be female. Interested teams may register now through January 27 for $400; however, registration will close once 32 team slots are filled.
