Last year, 20 teams faced off on the dodgeball court, (in the name of charity, of course). It was a ton of fun, and we were able to raise over $62,000 to give to four amazing non-profits.

We hope you’ll join us this year, for the 3rd annual GitHub Dodgeball Tournament!

We’ve brought back the folks from the World Dodgeball Society to help with the tournament. This year, we have room for 22 teams to compete in the tournament next month. All you need to compete is 10 to 15 of your strongest co-workers or friends, a donation of $3,000, and to register. Then join us Sunday, November 17th at the SoMa Recreation Center!
