Some of the most fun you can have on two wheels is back in the form of Quad Rugby 2018.

The fundraiser is held for the Buckeye Blitz, a semi-professional quad rugby team based in Columbus, and is being hosted by the 51ĀŅĀ× physical therapy division on Oct. 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in OHIOā€™s Ping Center.

In its 12^th iteration, the fundraiser is looking to beat last yearā€™s proceeds of $4,084 which helps fund the teamā€™s entry into tournaments, pay for maintenance of the rugby wheelchairs and other costs.

ā€œThis fundraiser pays for the bulk of our season,ā€ said Jeremy Finton, Blitz team captain. ā€œItā€™s a huge contributor to us being able to be successful and compete year to year. Itā€™s a huge benefit and without the contribution, we wouldnā€™t be able to have a season.ā€

Those who enter can pay $100 for a team of four players, $110 for a team of five or $120 for a team of six. A T-shirt is included in the fee and gift cards from a number of area businesses will be raffled during the event.

Signing up means being able to participate in a thrilling and fun event where some of the best quad rugby players roll across the floor.

ā€œIt gives everyone a chance to throw themselves into an adaptive sport,ā€ said Finton. ā€œItā€™s pretty much like bumper cars. Itā€™s fun, a little aggressive and competitive. Most teams really go for it out there and try to beat us. They donā€™t want to lose, we donā€™t want to lose so thereā€™s pride in it but itā€™s just a lot of fun.ā€

More information will be available during tabling sessions at Grover Centerā€™s Atrium on Sept. 27-28 and Oct. 1-5 from noon to 3 p.m. each of those days where raffle tickets and shirts will also be sold.
