Eight teams from local organizations will compete. The top team of the night will then take on the top fundraising team for a chance at $1,500 toward a school special education program of their choice.
Dr. Cheryl Bihn of the Mayo Clinic Health System team and Aptiv Development Director Andy Parrish joined Daybreak on Friday to talk about the night ahead and how it's beneficial to those who are part of Aptiv.
Aptiv is a fee for service organization that provides people with disabilities the opportunity to learn new skills, engage the community, and live a more meaningful life.
Events like this help support the organization's mission.
"We have to raise about three quarters of a million dollars each year simply to provide the same services we did last year," said Parrish.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. The fun begins at 7:00 p.m.

"I certainly know that if I had a child with disabilities, I would want the very best for them," said Parrish. "I would want the best care possible, the best services possible, so that's why we really raise as much [money] as we can."
