To date in 2006 - WAKA kickball divisions have raised over $150,000 for various charities!

WAKA Kickball Cares

Since WAKA was first founded in 1998, charity has been an important and ongoing part of our mission. Our gifts are growing as we do and we are proud to continue to give back to our communities through active charity programs and fundraisers. Each WAKA division is encouraged to select a local charity or local chapter of a national charity (generally one benefiting children) and raise funds and awareness for this organization. WAKA appreciates the work of the majority of divisions participating in this effort and recognizes those divisions that excel in fundraising numbers and methods. In this way, we all work to increase awareness among everyone associated with WAKA about how they can help those in need in their area.

To help individual divisions coordinate their charitable efforts, WAKA suggests a wide variety of proven fundraisers including kickball tournaments, silent auctions, scavenger hunts, division merchandise sales, bachelor and bachelorette auctions, walk-a-thons, and many more fun and unique events.

On a national level, WAKA strives to assist charitable endeavors with the same grassroots approach. Organizations looking for help in small kickball tournaments and events are paired with their local WAKA Kickball divisions for equipment, training and volunteers. If a charity engages in a large-scale undertaking that requires a great deal of planning, staff, volunteers and equipment, WAKA Central will often partner with the charity and other organizations to meet those needs to ensure the event is a positive and successful experience.
