Give to Game was a Success!

Even though there were a few hiccups along the way, Give to Game was a great success! We collected two big bins full of food for the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas. Through the admission, silent auction, snack sales, and raffle, we were able to collect more money than our goal:

$800!!

Thanks to all of you who made this event a success! I'd like to especially thank Great Hall Games and Dragon's Lair for their door prize and silent auction donations. A big thanks to Thought Hammer for donating some big ticket items to the silent auction and for the gift certificates! And a big thanks to all who donated games: Mike Chapel, Mark Hamzy, and Brent Cunningham.

We plan on trying this again next year!
