This November, before the Christmas rush fully sets in, we wanted to dedicate an evening to raise cash for kids who need some extra support and joy during a very stressful time in their life.
The Glasgow Childrens Hospital Charity has a fundraising campaign called 'Games For The Weans'. This campaign is raising funds to buy adapted gaming equipment, consoles and video games for the boys and girls at the children's hospital in Glasgow. Fundraising will also support the hospital's Gamer-in-Residence - so that children in hospital always have someone to play with.
On Saturday the 30th of November we will be hosting an evening of fun, games and fundraising for the Childrens Hospital. During our 3 hour event guests will have access to our arcade and cafe to mingle, enjoy our massive variety of games, take part in our raffles and auctions, and to learn more about the fantastic work that 'Games For The Weans' does for the kids in the Childrens Hospital.
We will also be hosting a number of events during the evening:
-We will be hosting a mini Mariokart tournament for anyone wishing to take part with a themed prize for the winner. -There will also be a Tetris high score challenge throughout the night too. The winner will receive a Tetris themed prize.
-Everyone attending our fundraising party will receive doughnuts from our neighbours at Doh too!
