Friday 7pm Family Event
Fundraiser Event for Foosball Clubs USA .
Bring your family and friends in town for the holidays into this casual, no-pro tournament to benefit youth foosball programs in schools.
In just a few years, these programs have benefitted hundreds of students (many of whom drastically improved after-school engagement, scholastics, attendance, or socialization) and demonstrated that foosball is an easily-accessible sport or activity for students on campus!
