The 7^th annual Salmon Jam is a one-day Tournament at Wellness and the Community Center. Breakfast was provided and food throughout the day for the players. They all received a swag bag with a Hydro Flask, candy, hat, and a shirt. First – third receive a $50 Nike gift card. The entry fee was unwrapped toys that are donated to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital.

Two core components are:

• Teaching kids the dangers of smoking cigarettes and vaping.
• Teaching kids empathy for others.

It would not be possible to do this without the help of the other departments.  We worked closely with Jaron Artis, Recreation, on planning and scheduling. The rest of the teams are there on the day to help us manage courts, time-keep, book-keep, and cleanup. This included Recreation, YDP, Events, the Community Center, their facility and support staff, BHP Sieglinde Parker, the clinic, Amy Carey, and Dr. Ram, who provided the education component, and last but not least, the Wellness Team. The Wellness team works an additional day annually to ensure this is a fun, positive event. The Trainers and aquatics assist with the time clocks, brackets, crowd control setup, and teardown. The Wellness Coordinators start preparing food at 6 am and continue until the last game. 2025 had 23 teams with a total of 202 players, 400 spectators and 275 toys were donated to Mary Bridge.

Thank you all for your support.
