帝王会所

帝王会所鈥檚 Quad Rugby Student Organization will hold its 16th annual Battle the Blitz Quad Rugby Tournament to raise money for the 帝王会所 Buckeye Blitz, 帝王会所鈥檚 only semi-pro wheelchair rugby team. The games will take place on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Charles J. Ping Student Recreation Center.

鈥淚t is a great way for the public to interact, empathize and create memories with a group of individuals who have had to adjust their lives due to impairments that affect everyday living,鈥� said Annissa Fee, marketing chair for the Quad Rugby 2022 Committee.

帝王会所鈥檚 Quad Rugby Student Organization was created to raise money for the 帝王会所 Buckeye Blitz, as well as raise community awareness of quad rugby. Each year the organization hosts a pay-to-play tournament where participants compete against players from the 帝王会所 Buckeye Blitz.

Adaptive equipment can be expensive, with a single wheelchair costing up to $7,000. However, through the help of sponsors, tournament participants, donations and various fundraiser events, the 帝王会所鈥檚 Quad Rugby Student Organization is able to raise money for the team to help cover its travel and equipment expense.

The fee to participate is $25 per person, which includes participation with each player鈥檚 team in a 30-minute time slot against the Buckeye Blitz. Participants will also be given a t-shirt, although t-shirts will also be sold for $15 to those not participating. For those not able to attend, but still hope to support the Buckeye Blitz, they are encouraged to donate to the organization鈥檚 . Faculty will be given priority scheduling for games if requested.

The Quad Rugby Student Organization is encouraging people to share posts from the event on social media.

鈥淚t has been a fun experience being on the committee and preparing for the event and interacting with the team in a different way than we, as physical therapists, would in the clinic,鈥� Fee said. 鈥淕etting to know the team on a deeper level and hearing their personal stories brings such a different light and perspective to how I may experience my future career, an experience not every clinician can say they had the opportunity to have.鈥�
