Storm the Beach Charity Tournament Summary
The Charity Beach Tournament was held on Saturday August 6th and this year we expanded from 12 to 16 teams. Teams came from as far away as Belleville and Niagara to compete but most teams were from the Toronto area. It was a hot and humid day and the beach was packed with ultimate players and civilians looking to work on their tans. Luckily though it was also slightly hazy which lessened the severity of many sun burns. All teams played hard and played with a lot of spirit. The only complaints I heard was that players' legs and feet were sore from running in the sand. In the final game we had two teams from Toronto competing to see who would be declared champions. After all the sand had settled it was Sandy Boxes who were victorious over the Wolfpack. Congratulations to the Sandy Boxes!! As the winners of the tournament they were able to pick the charity. The tournament raised $2005 which is going to be donated to "Right to Play". For those of you who don't know much about the charity here is a section I copied from their website. "Right To Play is committed to every child’s right to play. We give children a chance to become constructive participants in society, regardless of gender, disability, ethnicity, social background or religion. Through games and sports, we help create social change in communities affected by war, poverty and disease.". Thanks to all teams that participated. It was a very fun and exciting day.
