This coming Sunday at Tournaments of
Blackwood, members of the Realms community will gather to participate in a
Fight-a-thon to raise money in Bud’s name for TakeThis, Inc., a charity
dedicated to providing education about mental health issues, providing support
for gamers of all types, and reducing the stigma of mental illness. The
Fight-a-thon will run for three hours, from 3:00 – 6:00pm.
Bud’s mom, Pat, has provided the fighters with an additional
incentive in the form of two Boxes of Hope from TakeThis to be given to two of
the participants; whoever wins the most fights and whoever loses the most
fights – because there is as much honor in the struggle as there is in
victory (nifty pictures of the Box of
Hope can be found here).
The current list of committed participants includes:
- Cody Garcia
- Dave Hayden
- Greg Falconer
- Ian Pushee
- James Murphy Jr
- Josh Learned
- Keith Cronyn
- Michael Zajac
- Ray McGuirk Jr.
- Henry Giasson
- Jesse Gifford
Sponsoring someone for the Fight-a-thon is easy and your pledge doesn’t
have to be a large amount. You can pledge based on the number of fights someone
participates in or the number of fights they win, a set amount, or even come up
with your own incentives to make it interesting. Every little bit will help.
You can contact any of the fighters directly via Facebook or their email on
Realmsnet, or contact me if you’re running into a challenge getting in touch
with someone.
