Get ready to get sweaty. THON is going balls to the wall Sunday Oct. 31 for the THON Dodgeball Tournament.

The tournament, hosted by the Penn State basketball team, will be held in the Ashenfelter Multi-Sport Facility at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Registration begins at 12:30 and the event is expected to last about two hours.

Even if you’re not playing, come out and watch. All the proceeds go to THON.

The basketball team will also be involved in other events throughout the year, such as the THON basketball game and THON Hoops.

As Patches O’Houlihan says, “If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball,” so there are no excuses to miss out on this childhood favorite.
