A UMass Dartmouth sports marketing class group assignment to hold a non-profit fundraiser has produced a community effort to raise money to benefit the Children's Museum of Greater Fall River. The event will have teams of all ages from the community playing Dodgeball on April 30 at BMC Durfee High School.

"These students represent the best of UMass Dartmouth,'' said Nicole Castoguay, who teaches the sports marketing class. "They jump at the opportunity to put their brains and talents to work for the community, and they are learning more by doing it."
