OREFIELD, PA (April 7, 2025)— For the third year, a one-time gym class tradition returns to help kids in need, as KidsPeace announced that the 3rd Annual KidsPeace Dodgeball Tournament will be held on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at the organization’s Orchard Hills Campus in Orefield, PA.
The event, proudly spearheaded by the KidsPeace Lehigh Valley Board of Associates, promises a full day of high energy fun amid fierce competition. This year’s tournament brings even more excitement – with music, a variety of fantastic local food trucks, and the chance for one lucky team to claim the coveted title of 2026 KidsPeace Dodgeball Tournament Champions.
Businesses and community groups across the Lehigh Valley have already marked this as a premier team building tradition, bringing coworkers together in an atmosphere of camaraderie, laughter, and spirited rivalry. Most importantly, funds raised through the tournament directly support children and families served by KidsPeace in the Lehigh Valley – ensuring that every dodge, dive, and throw helps strengthen the programs and services that change kids’ lives.
Registration of teams for the 3rd Annual Dodgeball Tournament is now open, but will close on June 5th. To register your team or if you need additional information on ways to support KidsPeace, please contact: Elizabeth Ruggiero, Director of Development at elizabeth.ruggiero@kidspeace.org
