This post is slightly late, but better now than after the events! We have several community-oriented events raising money for good causes, ranging from a 24hr live stream this coming weekend to an indoor war in January! Let’s look at what’s going on!
World Foam Alliance Livestream
Starting on December 9th at 3pm EST (12pm PST), the various hosts are going to be talking, doing, and debating Nerf related subjects. There will be blaster auctions, raffles, and more, all raising money for Toys for Tots!
I’ll be on early Sunday morning (I need to get up early? On a weekend? EWWWWW!). But there are a ton of cool hosts that will be online during the week. You might find people doing a fast mod, or talking about the fun and perils of short form video. You might even see war updates from events going on that weekend!
Check the Youtube Channel this Saturday. Search for World Foam Alliance on Facebook to like and receive updates, including on the prizes. And subscribe to the channels in general to see any other content that bubbles up!
The Joy of Sox – In Memory of Thomas Corbett
This year’s drive (see the custom web page for the group’s contributions to the charity) is nearly halfway to the goal as of this post, but we can do better than that! Each $10 donated for The Joy of Sox gets you a raffle entry, and meeting the fundraising goal unlocks more prizes (or an increase in prize value). And we have a wide variety of people donating prizes. Silverfox Industries, Foam Pro Shop, Out of Darts, Dart Zone, Containment Crew, and more all have prizes waiting to be given away when the raffle is drawn next January. There’s even a Nerf Stryfe X, signed by the designers.
At the very least, pitch in $10. See if that raffle entry gets you anything!
Sub Zero Blaster Battle
As of this post, the tickets to the event itself are sold out. However, even if you’re not attending, there are options for purchasing raffle tickets or simply donating. At minimum, there is a Worker Seagull for the taking, as well as a custom made leather holster for the Dart Zone Max Outlaw. Given the time before the event, I’d expect more things to join that list.
With any luck, we’ll be able to raise enough money to help make the scholarship fund a permanent addition, so that next year, we can pick another charity and make a lasting contribution!
