Be on the lookout for it as you make your way through your day; it's hard to miss! You can be sure to find us near the Student Center at 4:00pm.
About the Event
Get On the Ball is a philanthropy event from the brothers of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity at MIT. We will roll a gigantic, flashy six-foot-diameter ball around campus during Campus Preview Weekend and collect signatures from students and faculty. For each signature that we collect, our sponsors will donate a pre-specified amount of money. We will also accept in-person donations. All proceeds will be donated to the Children's Hospital Boston, a member of the national Children's Miracle Network. Come find us as we roll through the Student Center and steps, Kresge Oval, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, the Infinite Corridor, the Ray & Maria Stata Center, and elsewhere on campus, and Get on the Ball!

The hospital is also a Magnet Hospital for Nursing Excellence, the greatest recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
