The 6th annual Kick 4 a Cause 4v4 tournament will be held Saturday, January 19, 2019 at WRAL Soccer Park. 100% of proceeds from this year's event will benefit the Tammy Lynn Center for Development Disabilities. The Tammy Lynn Center (TLC) empowers families and enriches the lives of children and adults through education, community, and support services. Each year, more than 400 families in the Wake County area benefit from the Residential, Early Childhood Intervention, Respite Care, and/or Education Services provided by the center.

Tournament Format
Teams are guaranteed four games (12 minute halves) during the tournament. Divisions include Youth: U8 - U18 boys and girls, and Adult: Men, Women, and Coed Open.
Event Proceeds
100% of event proceeds will benefit the Tammy Lynn Center, specifically their school playground which is used on a daily basis by their on-campus Pre-K and grade school students. The playground also supports before-school and after-school programs, as well as a seven-week long summer camp. In the evenings, the playground area is a frequent gathering spot for the 30 children and adults who live on the TLC's main campus. Having a safe and stimulating area for children and adults to play/gather outside is crucial when it comes to providing life enriching experiences.
Funds raised through the 4v4 will help fund these specific areas of need:
- a large sandbox with benches to provide more space for educational lessons (e.g., measuring) and sensory experiences like touching and feeling
- soft surface flooring
- shade canopies: to allow for more year-round, comfortable use
