Every year some of my soccer buddies, who also happen to game, get together on the first weekend in November to do something really cool. They get together and game for 24 hours straight to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network Hospital in the Pacific Northwest. What started out as a challenge (I'm going to lose my sanity around midnight, I promise) has grown into something unique with prizes, giveaways and a live stream of the entire event.
This year we have probably the biggest lot of games in addition to an Xbox One X, rare gaming items, whiskey, Sounders, Timbers and Whitecaps gear (read below before you freak out, soccer friends). And there will be more to come.
Want to support us? Awesome. You can support me by clicking the only ad on this blog. If you don't want to support me, which is fine, you can support the team here: Cascadian Gamers on Extra Life.org. All the money I raise will be going to Seattle Children's Hospital. You can also win some really cool stuff.
THE CASCADIAN GAMERS SUPER MEGA RAFFLE™
For every donation through anyone on the Cascadian Gamers team, you'll get raffle tickets entered into our drawings. Those tickets remain until they're drawn, so you have tons of chances to win! As the date gets closer, we'll announce prizes, links to our streams, and so on! You can follow us on Twitter at @CascadianGamers for all the latest information! We'll be updating this post with information about the SuperMegaRaffle(™) as we get closer to the event!
We have TWO raffle tiers this year! $10 and $50 tickets! The $10 prize pool is packed with hundreds of items, such as games, a SNES Classic Edition, collectibles, Funko Pops, and much, much more! The $50 prize pool has some AMAZING prizes, such as game-worn hockey sweaters, autographed items from some of your favorite soccer players, and some surprise one-of-a-kind items to be announced as we get closer to the day of the event!
When you donate, please use the encouraging message field to tell us how you'd like to break up your tickets! (You can make the message private, if you prefer.) If you don't let us know how you'd like to break up your tickets, we're going to make them all $10 tickets!
Additionally, if you're a supporter or fan of the Sounders, Timbers, or Whitecaps, please let us know! (We can't award some of these prizes to opposing fans. Sorry!) Also, if you don't want to be considered for soccer-related prizes, let us know. If you don't want any raffle tickets, you can also let us know that, too! Your donation is super-appreciated!!
NOTE: You can only win ONE prize from the $50 pool and FIVE prizes from the $10 pool. Once your limit has been hit, your remaining tickets are withdrawn from the digital bucket! However, if you decline a prize, it goes back into the pool, and your tickets remain. Once you decline a prize, it's declined...you can't get it back. So PLEASE consider carefully!
