Rincon Fundraiser a big success!
Last Saturday we hosted a fundraising game day for Rincon. I was a
little worried that not many people would show up, and that we wouldn't
end up making much (if any) money... but I guess that's just typical me -
I'm kind of a pessimist. I'm happy to report that in fact, 70 people
came to our event, some from Tucson, some from Phoenix, and some from
Sierra Vista. And from what I could tell, everyone had a really good
time!
18 of those people played in the poker
tournament, expertly run by Jeff Becker. Karl Davis came out on top
after a hard fought, back and forth heads up battle with Russel Knox.
Karl won a hotel room for the weekend of Rincon, while 2nd and 3rd place
(Russel and Brenda Lundt) walked away with free passes to the
convention.
We also had several prize drawings, sponsored by games donated by myself, Brian Poe, and Patrick Nickell of crash Games.
That
day happened to be National Tabletop Day, and at least a couple of
people found out about our event through the Geek and Sundry TabletopDay
website. The event was bustling from 10am to 10pm, and everyone seemed
to have a great time! We managed to raise significant funds for Rincon,
and by any account I think it's fair to say the Game Day was a
resounding success! It was so great, we're planning another similar
event for June!
Thanks to everyone who came by and supported Rincon and SAGA!
