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.
