Greek and residence hall organizations will come together to build various contraptions with cans they have collected during the past two weeks in a charity event called CANstruction.
From 4 to 6 p.m., organizations will be building CANstructions in the Fine Arts Building Room 217 with only one construction winning when the building time is up.
At the end of the day, groups will tear down their creations and donate the material to the Muncie Mission.
Jordan Amor, Panhellenic Council vice president for philanthropy and community service, said the annual CANstruction event gives the Ball State community a chance to give back.
"The Muncie community is very supportive of the Ball State community," Amor said. "I think it is very important for us to do the reverse and give back to them."
The theme for this year's contest is "Holiday Hoo-rah". All groups will be required to build their constructions around any holiday.
As far as rules go, constructions have to be built within the designated space and without any glue or duct tape. The winners will be judged by a panel for best CANstruction.
CANstruction has been an annual charity event at Ball State for three years, and this is the first year residence halls will be participating.
The residence halls participating this year are Mysch/Hurst, Johnson Complex B, Brayton/Clevenger Hall, Park Hall and Woodworth Complex. While Dehority Complex will not be participating in the competition, residents there have been collecting cans to donate for two weeks.
Mark Mosias, president of fraternity community outreach, said 300 to 350 people are expected to participate in CANstruction, and the event continues to grow every year as it become more popular on campus.
