Local, national charities benefit from the player initiative

---

"After seeing the huge success of the ExtraLife event, where the Gaiscioch placed 11th globally raising $8,600, I wanted to see what our community could do in their own event as well. So I said to my officers, 'Let's try to do something.'

I checked with various tax professionals who told me to not even try, or to let no money even touch my hands.

So then I found the Khol's charity event that for any animal that you buy they donate 100% to children's education and healthcare, and figured: Why not double up and give the animals to charity?

We originally set the goal of shipping 200 stuffed animals. Within the first week of the event, we shipped over 300."
