Okay, so what's a FRAG-a-THON? Well, it's not a normal SMo-g, but it is hosted by SpokLAN.net - and the differnce is it's a 40 hour charity fundraiser. It starts at 8pm Friday the 10th of March, and goes through Noon Sunday the 12th. We only have a total of 52 spots (42 pc and 10 console) - so you'll want to sign up, get your pledge sheet printed off, prepay your $10 (which includes a limted edtion FRAG-a-THON sthirt). And yes, we'll be at the Budget Inn here in Spokane WA.

What's the point of all this? First, to raise money for Gonzaga University's April's Angels, a first rate charity that helps out kids. Second, to have a lot of fun doing it.
Over the last two years, we have raised over $4,500.00 for the kids! Our goal this year is another $2,500.00

You can participate in two ways: Pleged and Self-Pledged.
Pledged: You go out and get pledges - by the hour, full 40, or participation (on outright donation). If you are pledged, you get to stay up for the full 40 to raise money (unless it's all participation pledges). You'll get 5 one hour breaks you can sue throughout the event, and if you have any left over, there's a drawing for a years worth of free SpokLAN.net events.

Self-Pledged: Basically you write a check / hand over cash for the kidz - this allows you to take a break when you want but still help out the kidz. If you get a pledge sheet and have all "participation" pledges, you fit into this group

We are asking that you try for a $50 in pledges - this is NOT required, but we'd like you to try. Our top three fundraisers will recieve some nice prizes:
2005: www.spoklan.net/past/smog3_3.php
2004: www.spoklan.net/past/smog2_3.php
(check out the pix of the events there while you are there ).

Events during the FRAG-a-THON:
* Iron SMo-gger - an 8 event marathon to find the best over all gamer
* Last Man Standing 250
* One shot run throughs (consle)
* and other "marathon" events... mwuahahahaha

We're taking ideas for the FRAG-a-THON shirt - get your ideas in the forums: www.spoklan.net/forums...php?t=2693

Registration is open at http://spoklan.net

Hope to see you there!

Peace,
Tim

Couple of announcements -

The top fundraiser will recieve a certificate good for any Crystalfontz display kit for thier PC (pretty spiffy)

Among the smaller stuff, we have a Grand Prize courtesy of Arctic Cooling - a Silentium T1 :).

For being only a 50 seater or so, we're doing fairly well with prizes, and we're just about full up. :)
 
I am proud to announce that our preliminary total raised for the kidz is:

$3,699.65

Not bad for less than 60 Geeks and Gamers... :D - yes, I'm pretty proud of my group.

Peace,
Tim
