Bilzin Sumberg faces off seven other law firms on Thursday, March 20th at the Dare to Dodge Tournament, benefiting the United Way.
- Miami, FL (1888PressRelease) March 12, 2014 - On Thursday, March 20th, Bilzin Sumberg attorneys and staff will participate in the Dare to Dodge dodgeball tournament to raise funds for United Way of Miami-Dade. Now in its second year, the tournament has doubled in size to include eight law firms.
Bilzin Sumberg will compete alongside Akerman Senterfitt, Berger Singerman, Carlton Fields, Fowler White Burnett, Greenberg Traurig, Holland & Knight and Kluger Kaplan at 5:30 p.m. at the Downtown Athletic Club, for the coveted title of "Dodgeball Champion 2014." Entry fees paid by participants and supporters will be donated to United Way.
Dare to Dodge is yet another example of how United Way serves as a bridge, linking all sectors of the community, and bringing diverse partners and competitors to the same table. All proceeds from the tournament benefit United Way's work in education, health and financial stability.
"We are not taking our third place finish last year lying down," said Bryan Hawks, partner in the firm's Real Estate Practice Group and Coach of the Bilzin Sumberg Dodge Squad. "I've enforced a grueling regimen for the team that includes four hours of practice per day, followed by a minimum of 200 recitations of the five D's: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge (again)."
