The Big Ten Conference will usher in a new era of collegiate volleyball this fall with the launch of its inaugural Big Ten Volleyball Tournament at the Fishers Event Center Nov. 20–25.

Whether you have tickets to the tournament or just want to be part of the excitement, the Big Ten Fan Village at the Nickel Plate Amphitheater District is the hub for volleyball, community and fun. Fans can watch every tournament match, grab official merchandise, capture the moment with photo ops, enjoy grass volleyball courts, crafts and activities, food trucks, bonfires and more.

Check out the schedule and themes for each day here.

Christmas morning isn't the same for everyone, and for many children, it comes without any gifts under the tree. The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program changes that by providing new clothes and toys to kids in need, right in your community.

When you donate, you’re giving so much more than a present. You’re giving hope, joy, and the reminder that someone cares.

Help make a child’s Christmas magical today.
