Tournament of Champions (Kickball)  (5449)

04/12/2013 9:00 AM - 04/12/2013 3:00 PM

In April 2009, an innovative approach to Behavioral Health took place at Daley Park in Tempe Arizona. Approximately 350 people participated in the First Tournament of Champions Kickball Challenge. On that day, the barriers came down and the spirit of recovery
flourished as Service Recipients, Families, and Service Providers joined together for a day of fun, food and friendship. This is healthy way for all of us to engage with one another and bring a humanistic approach to services. The collaboration between all
the organizations can be a miracle in its self, but when it all comes down to it health and happiness is all our focus. The event has been such a success we are having our 9th bi annual event Friday April 12, 2013. It is simply amazing seeing so many people
from different walks of life join together and experience such fun, laughter and sharing.
