Hunger Games
Time: 2 – 4 p.m.

What if the Hunger Games were real, but instead of killing people, they saved lives? The Community Service Board has done their best to make that dream come alive with Shocktoberfest’s Hunger Games. You’ll collect as many canned good and hygiene items as you can with your team, aka your district, to craft a glorious cornucopia. Volunteer as tribute by contacting [email protected] and registering.

While team registration for the tournament is closed, you can still watch your fellow Shockers humiliate themselves and others in the gymnasium during Shocktoberfest’s Dodgeball Tournament.
