NGEN and UnLtd raise $30,000 with Dodgeball Charity Cup

A series of Charity Cup dodgeball competitions in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane run by the MFA’s NGEN in association with UnLtd has raised more than $30,000 for the charity Hear For You.

The announcement:

NGEN has continued its fine tradition of fierce competition with its NGEN Charity Cup, holding dodgeball competitions in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to raise $30,000 nationally for UnLtd charity partner, Hear For You, the official benefactor of the Cup’s efforts.

This year, in an effort to put NGENers in the place of someone who is hearing impaired, the teams that competed for second place had to play a silent dodgeball challenge match. Players were given headphones and earplugs, while the crowd watched on in complete silence, to simulate the experience of playing dodgeball with hearing impediments.
