Fishwick Chargers: Help the Homeless Dodgeball

Donation protected
Second Annual Help the Homeless Dodgeball Tournament

Roanoke City Public Schools currently have a record number of students identified as homeless. The teachers and students of Roanoke City Public Schools will come together on October 5, 2019 and compete in a city-wide dodgeball tournament. Proceeds will benefit the Help the Homeless Fund. Last year in our inaugural year we raised over $11, 000. We are trying to exceed that this year. 

Our Help the Homeless Fund is preventing families from becoming homeless. To date, the school system has spent $22,000 helping 145 families (307 students). The fund pays for things like an utility bill or rent to prevent evictions. The funding is being used to fill the gaps after all other community resources have been exhausted.

Homelessness can take on different forms. Some of our students live in shelters. Others live in hotels or are doubling up with our families. Put another way, these students don't have a permanent residence.

Teacher and student teams will compete to raise the most money to help our students in need. Please donate today and make a difference for our students!


The tournament will take place at Patrick Henry from 1-6 on October 5th. Admission is 5 dollars and all the proceeds go to the Help the Homeless Fund. Come out and support our teams.
Concessions will also be sold and those proceeds will also go to the Help the Homeless Fund.
