10th Pink Day

 

Can you believe it’s the 10th Anniversary of Pink Day in LA?! Me either!

 

Don’t know what Pink Day in LA is? Let me drop some knowledge for you:

 

Pink Day in LA started way back in Guild Wars as a way for gamers to come together and remember and pay tribute to fellow gamers, friends, and family that had lost their battles with cancer. As it progressed, the event became a full day party to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society, an awesome charity that has been doing amazing things in Canada and the world.1

 

Now, we have legendary blitz raffles, where every $5 CDN enters you in for a chance of at a legendary weapon. Every donation of $10 CDN gets you entered into a real-life prize pool, usually including Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, ArenaNet, Cards Against Humanity, and Magic the Gathering merch. Homemade gifts have been given away, like quaggan plushies, soft pokeballs, and more!

 

This year, Pink Day in LA is going to be especially epic, not just because it’s now a decade old, but it’s also the last Pink Day hosted by Gamers Giving Back. (Sol-Mates that have volunteered for GGB include: Barbie (head of GGB), Lyra, Atra, myself, and many others.)

 

Sol-Mates usually win big at Pink Day, usually at least one member wins one of the legendaries, prize packs that have included Dusk and Dawn, and black lion skin collections! I like to think it’s because Sol-Mates do so much to give back, that the universe has to pay it back somehow! In the past, Sol-Mates have helped make legendaries, donated precursors and full on legendaries, black lion skins, and ascended crafting materials.

 

So when’s all this going down?

 

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 21 and clear about 6+ hours (starting around 1 PM EDT) to attend and participate in this epic event. Also, tune-in to GW-EN.com to hear survival stories, why cancer sucks, and awesome music during the event!

 

Mini-games and contests during the event will include:

PvP Tournament

Costume Contest

Diving Competition

Human Darts

Strike A Pose

And much more!

 

Fundraising season for Pink Day starts at Quaggan Waddle (date to be announced)! Check out future Sol Patch articles, Twitter, and Facebook posts for more information!

1 Regarding the Canadian Cancer Society, they truly are an amazing charity. They give donators the ability to choose where they put their money, whether it stays in Canada to help families in need with medical bills, transportation, or anything that they need really, or if it goes internationally to help fund research. Gamers Giving Back chooses to fund international research to help put an end to cancer once and for all.
