A Little Kickball. A Lot of Christmas Chaos. All for a Good Cause.
Get ready to kick off the holiday season with a little friendly competition, a whole lot of Christmas spirit, and a cause worth playing for!
Hosted by Augusta Premier Kickball, Kickmas for a Cause is a one-day charity kickball tournament bringing the Augusta community together for an afternoon of festive fun and fundraising. With holiday-themed Power-Ups, creative costumes, interactive challenges, raffles, and opportunities for spectators to influence the competition, this isn’t your ordinary kickball tournament!
But beyond the holiday chaos is a greater purpose. 50% of tournament proceeds will benefit the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home, supporting the care of Georgia’s military veterans, while the remaining 50% will help fund the continued growth of Augusta Premier Kickball, a 501(c)(7) nonprofit organization.
Whether you’re competing for the championship, cheering from the sidelines, or simply looking for a fun way to give back, every registration, Power-Up, and contribution helps make a difference.
