The Tampa City Athletic Association is at it again. To benefit the excellent young men at Franklin Boys Preparatory Academy Middle, referee and comedian Steve Miller (now new-and-improved-and-cancer-free) hosts a bout where competitors will go to head in pencil fights.

DJ Steph Money (a Special Education English Language Arts Teacher at Franklin) will play tunes (including walk-up music). There’s a raffle, plus prizes for the winner and best costume. A Madonna dance party follows.

It’ll cost you $10 to take part in Pencil Fights 8—Splinters of Fury on Saturday, Aug. 17 at Hooch and Hive in Tampa.
