YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber is inviting businesses to participate in an afternoon of fun and games – and bragging rights – for a good cause.
The Regional Chamber’s second Corporate Pinball Challenge & Fundraiser will take place from noon to 4 p.m. March 24 at Past Times Arcade, 419 N. State St., Girard.
The team-building event features four-person teams representing participating companies. Businesses are encouraged to register multiple teams.
The afternoon will begin with networking and practice play, followed by a brief overview of the tournament format. Games will begin at about 1 p.m., and players are guaranteed at least eight games. Awards and trophies will be presented to the winning team and its participants at the conclusion of play.
A $200 per team registration fee includes lunch, and each team will compete on behalf of a charity of their choice. The tournament champion’s selected nonprofit will receive the event proceeds.
The registration deadline is March 20. To register for the event, click HERE. For more information, contact Connie Knight, events coordinator, at Connie@regionalchamber.com or 330 744 2131, ext. 1215.

The arcade has more than 400 classic and current pinball machines and more than 200 classic arcade games.
