On Saturday, August 10th, 2024, PUMP will once again host Kickball for a Cause at Mellon Park and bring together young people, ages 21+, for a day of kickball, fundraising, picknicking, and fun. More information to come soon - in the meantime all of last years information is listed below.
Since 2003, Kickball for a Cause (formerly Kickball for Hope) has featured teams who play in round-robin lightening games in Mellon Park throughout the day while enjoying generous donations of food, drink and music from our sponsors. The top teams advance into playoff rounds – which always generates a crowd of supporters and cheers.

Tournament Rules: The rules can be found here - https://pittsburghsportsleague.leaguelab.com/page/Kickball-for-a-Cause-Rules
Captain's Meeting: As in recent years, we will be having 2 meetings. One in person for captains to pick up their t-shirts and select their random draw spot in the tournament field. A second meeting will take place on zoom where captains will join to go over the logistics for tournament day!
NOTE: All teams will be randomly assigned their divisions and schedule based on the number they select when they pick up t-shirts.
Weather Policy:
Kickball for a Cause is a rain or shine tournament. Games will be played in moderate rain. If needed, games played on dirt will be shifted to the grass.
In the event of lightning we will sound an air horn to stop all play. All participants and attendees should get into a safe spot to wait. Games will be resumed according to our flash to bang policy, as listed on our website.
In the event we stop play, captains will receive an email with further instructions from PUMP staff as soon as we have updated information on the weather delay.
Flash to Bang Method:
In the event of lightning, a flash to bang method will be used. A flash to bang method is used to determine how far away lightning is. Every 5 seconds between a flash of lightening and a bang of thunder equals 1 mile. The field will be evacuated if there is less than 15 seconds between a flash of lightening and the bang of thunder. Game play will not continue until the severe weather passes and there is more than 15 seconds between the flash of lightning and the bang of thunder.
