This Friday, THON organizations Atlas, Ohana, and Springfield will unite to kick off the fundraising season for the 2011 IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon with an arm wrestling tournament.

ArmWrestleMania will be held on Friday, October 1 starting at 2 p.m. in Redifer Commons. Competitors will face off in bracket-style competition. There will be separate brackets for males and females, and participants will wrestle through the rounds to compete for the grand prize of gift cards to the Berkey Creamery.

Registration for the tournament will be held today and tomorrow from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in the HUB on the first floor near the big screen TV. The tournament costs $3 to participate, and proceeds will go towards THON.
