On April 26, 2014 JM Direct hosted a dodge ball tournament to benefit their philanthropy, Operation Smile. The event featured six independently owned marketing and sales firms located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The tournament took place at Sole Roll Indoor Soccer Arena in Dallas, TX. Through participants purchasing raffle tickets for a 50/50 lottery, the event raised $590, enough funds to cover the cost of an entire cleft palate surgery.
After all the ducking, dodgeing and diving, all participants came together to share burgers, hot dogs, and tales of their dodge ball glory. Although not all played well, all left having done well.
JM Direct’s Director of Talent Acquisition and Corporate Branding, Elle Obarski, said JM Direct will continue their efforts to fundraise for Operation Smile.
“It’s such a powerful surgery that gives back to these children and families in so many ways. What we’re doing here truly does change lives”
