Dodging for Dogs: Dewey Beach Bars Face Off for a Great Cause

June 1, 2026

Only in Dewey Beach does a Monday night involve dodgeball, dogs, and your favorite bartender trying to nail someone with a rubber ball.

What’s Going Down

The Lighthouse is hosting “Dodging for Dogs”, an industry dodgeball tournament where teams from Dewey’s bars and restaurants compete for bragging rights. Every team throws in a $50 donation, and all proceeds go to Grass Roots Rescue, a foster-based dog rescue nonprofit based in Milton, DE that’s been saving dogs on the Eastern Shore since 2013.

The flyer also mentions “Dogs For Adoption,” so there’s a chance you leave this thing with a new best friend. You’ve been warned.

The Details:

  • When: Monday, June 1st at 7pm
  • Where: The Lighthouse, 124 Dickinson Ave, Dewey Beach
  • Cost: $50 per team to play
  • Benefiting: Grass Roots Rescue
  • Sponsor: Tito’s Vodka

Want to Play?

Email Johnny Davidson at Johnny.Davidson@Hyatt.com for pre-registration and rules. Or just show up, grab a drink, and root for your bar’s squad.

Insider Tip: The Lighthouse sits right on the bay in Ruddertowne, so you’ll have waterfront views while you watch the chaos unfold.
