I want to thank everyone who made it out to the Gears of War 3 release party on Friday 9/23. It was a great event and we raised over $450 for the Seattle Stand-down which benefits homeless vets in the Seattle area.
I also want to add a special thanks to Dennis for setting up this event, Sam from the Seattle Stand-Down, Scott from Epic Games for providing awesome prizes, and Lisa from Amazon for donating the Kindle that one lucky vet went home with. It was a great event and we look forward to doing more with these fine folks.
For more information on the Seattle Stand-down please visit there page.
Also Epic Games has put up a page on their community site showcasing our event as well as other with veterans.
Here are a few photos from the event.
Im really excited for the party on Friday. I think I may stop off across the street at the Legion Dugout for a beverage beforehand if anyone else is interested.
Hope to see as many vets and their friends there as possible. It will be a great time.
Great event Dennis and thanks to the VFW staff, Scott, Amazon, and everyone who contributed to the success of the party. Kelsey and I had a great time
