There's nothing like a good water ballon fight to raise money for charity.
On Sunday, the first Battle of the Causes will take place at the Hilton Garden Inn in Riverhead.
Hosted by BluChip Marketing, the event includes a fun day filled with water balloon and water gun fights as well as obstacle courses to help raise money for a Long Island charity.
Adults and children have the option to join one of the six charities' teams: Angela's House, American Heart Association, Stony Brook Children's Hospital, Moms Who Kick, PKD Foundation and Brielle's Fashions. Each team will be hosted by a representative from the charity.
The Battle of the Causes kicks off at 2 p.m. with a barbecue at 4 p.m.; all tickets will be $10 per person. The event is open to the public, regardless if they decide to take part in the activities.
