TUSCOLA -- Dozens gathered at the high school to honor a member of the WCIA-3 News family. Robert Reese died last month after a long battle with cancer.

He was known for giving back to his community, so people wanted to return the favor. This charity dodge ball game happens every year at Tuscola High School, but this year it's called "Dodge for Robert."

Funds from the game, silent auction and all donations will go to the Reese family. Usually the tournament is just for high school students, but the community wanted to take part.
