Companies are gearing up for the annual dodgeball tournament hosted by LGT Wealth Management, which combines camaraderie, competitiveness, and charity. This event, which has been a tradition since 2012, aims to bring the industry together and raise funds for a worthy cause. Despite a brief hiatus due to the pandemic, the tournament is back this year and will take place at the Honourable Artillery Company in London.
Dodgeball was chosen as the sport for this event because it is inclusive, light-hearted, and accessible to people of all sporting backgrounds. The tournament not only promotes friendly competition but also supports a charitable cause. This year, LGT has selected Demelza, a charity that provides end-of-life care and support to children with serious and terminal conditions and their families.
The decision to support Demelza was made by LGT’s charity committee, which chooses a core charity to work with for a few years. Demelza was chosen because of their thoughtful approach and passion for their cause. LGT actively engages with Demelza throughout the year, participating in various events and activities.
The goal for this year’s tournament is to raise over £25,000, building on the success of last year’s event, which raised an impressive £23,000. With approximately 500 participants expected to attend, including 42 teams of up to 10 players each, LGT is confident in achieving and surpassing their target.
In addition to the dodgeball matches, the LGT tournament is known for its lively and creative costumes. Participants are encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters, resulting in some fun and memorable costumes over the years.
Excitement is building as the date for LGT’s 10th Annual Dodgeball Tournament approaches. The event is not just about competition, but also about coming together to support a worthy cause while having a blast. Following the tournament, there will be drinks and a charity event on the terrace, with post-competition drinks at a London pub to continue the fun into the evening.
