With team names like Guns & Hoses, Rubber Launchers, Asset Avengers and Shock & Balls, dodgeball is taking over the old Lloyd Comp gym on Tuesday, Nov. 10 as the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation (LRHF) hosts its eighth annual Gift To Health Livestream.
The fundraiser features 18 teams competing throughout the day in support of A New Home for Hope, a campaign to relocate and enhance the Cancer Care Unit at Lloydminster Hospital.
Games begin at 9:00 a.m., with two matches being played at the same time. Integra Engineering will tackle Maz Entertainment while Supplement World will take aim at Deere in the Headlights. The championship rounds are scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
A New Home for Hope
The Foundation says money raised will help fund improvements to patient treatment areas, upgraded equipment and features designed to create a more comfortable and supportive environment for cancer patients and their families. Cancer treatment often involves weeks or months of appointments, making the care setting an important part of the healing journey.
Organizers say the project will help ensure local residents can continue to access high-quality cancer care close to home in a space focused on comfort, dignity and hope.
Residents can attend the event in person, watch online through the livestream or donate through the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation website.
