M.A.W. Charity Events is hosting a Street Fighter V tournament to fight blot clots. On Saturday, April 9th, together with Ignite s Gaming Lounge in Chicago, IL, you have the chance to fight for a very good cause, while fighting others in one-on-one virtual combat. You have to admit, it sounds pretty cool. M.A.W. Charity Events was founded in 2015, in memory of Manu Ajamu Williams, who died unexpectedly and tragically from a mistreated blood clot. This charity wants to fight blood clots by raising money for ClotCare, a charity that raises money for the treatment of blood clots. Get your game on with the super-hyped Street Fighter V, and help raise money for a good cause while destroying your opponents.
There’s a huge prize pool, there will be free food, casual gaming (you don’t have to compete!), and it’s Street Fighter V! What better game to play while fighting for a good cause than the newest chapter of the classic fighting game that we grew up with and love? Aside from the venue fees, marketing, and other few small expenses required to actually host the event, all other proceeds will go directly to charity. If you’re in Chicago, your schedule is open on April 9th, and you have a few extra bucks, go to this event! You were probably just going to be playing video games anyway, so why not do it for a good cause, and compete against other gamers for glory and a cash prize? Even if you lose, you will be donating to an important charity, and if you win, you’re also getting something out of it! Just for entering, you get a copy of Street Fighter V! Basically you’re buying the game. Also free at the venue will be food, chair massages, event swag, an event badge with a lanyard, and free raffle tickets. Seriously, just come. They’re making it so worth it, charity aside.
M.A.W. Charity Events are following the example of Child’s Play, another charity organization that allows gamers to come together and make a positive impact. You can purchase tickets at eventbright.com, or at the door.
