Registration will be up soon and the donation minimum to participate will be 5$ per gamer, and 5$ per gametype. (If you choose to play both then your donations would be $10 minimum)
THE CAUSE:
This year we are playing for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of Spencer Boyer. Every dollar raised will go directly to the Be the Match Foundation, which is a registry for Bone Marrow donors and gives a second chance at life for patients with Leukemia.
Each year in the United States about 30,000 new cases of leukemia are diagnosed. It accounts for about one-third of all cancers in children younger than 15. Leukemia causes an estimated 22,000 deaths each year. It is the sixth leading cause of cancer deaths among men and the seventh leading cause of cancer deaths among women.
You can help fight this disease by participating in HALOween and also by registering to the Be The Match Foundation and either donate marrow or donate money to help patients who are donating. Leukemia can be beat!
The registration page will be up soon. For more information visit the PG Tournament forum.
