The First Annual Octocat Dodgeball Invitational is taking place next week in the Bay Area, inviting local companies to participate in a charity event by forming teams of six to eight co-workers and selecting a charity to support with donations. Those unable to form a team can still contribute by volunteering as referees or joining cheering squads. Even those outside San Francisco can participate by donating to the charities supported by the event, which include Women Work Together, Aspire Public Schools, and the United Nations Children's Fund. The event is scheduled for Sunday, October 23rd, at the Mission Rec Center, with further details available on the official Dodgeball site.
