But wait, there's more! Cash prizes will be given!
 
Prizes:
  • First place:  $200 
  • Second place: $100 
  • Third place:  $50 
Tournament Schedule:

  • Onsite registration (as space allows) & check-in opens at 1pm.
  • The tournament will begin as soon as possible (which is usually shortly after 1:30).
Registration:

Beer (and food, of course)

You can't play beer pong without beer and some food to power you along!

Present at Pong Fest 2025 will be NMDP

Visit with NMDP's staff to learn more about becoming a donor and/or making a gift!
 
  • NMDP℠  (formerly Be The Match and the National Marrow Donor Program) is a global nonprofit leader in cell therapy, helping find cures and save lives for patients with blood cancers and disorders. More...
  • Patients who need a life-saving blood stem cell transplant often do not have a matching donor in their family. That’s when they turn to NMDP℠ who connects them to potential donors like you – and have been doing so since 1987. More information about joining the registry
  • When you make a financial gift to NMDP℠, you unlock hope for patients and their loved ones. You can help save more lives by making a donation.
