Gaming for a Great Cause
This event series brings a philanthropic element directly to your local gaming space. For every person who registers and plays in these store events worldwide, a one-dollar donation will be made to Black Girls Code. This charitable effort will contribute up to a total cap of $45,000.
The receiving organization works to build opportunities for young women and gender-expansive youth of color in technological fields. By introducing students between the ages of seven and seventeen to computer programming, digital skills, and game development, the foundation helps nurture the next generation of industry creators and community leaders.
