Each year it’s harder and harder to top the amount of fun and comraderie we are able to have during the 24 hour marathon but each year we somehow manage to surprise me!
This year was no different. We had another amazing turnout for the 6th annual event, once again hosted by The Gamers Armory in Cary NC!
We had 50 24 hour players and about 28 Overnight players for this year’s event. And thanks to the amazing support by them and our whole GFC community both locally and across the country we raised $22,000 yet again for TSSUS/Carolinas.
I cannot thank everyone enough for the amazing support. From Players to Publishers and designers and also the local business community as well, we have some of the best support anyone could ask for.
In the coming weeks we will be posting some recaps of the events as well as some pictures from the big day.
