40 hours of insanity and fundraising. Help us beat our total from last year of $1,380.00 raised for the Kidz. The event starts at 8 pm on Friday the 11th, and ends at noon on Sunday the 13th.

yes, 40 hours of Geeking and Gaming madness as we raise money for Gonzaga University's April's Angels - a student ran organization that helps kids and in April swarms on their chosen facility to fix, paint, repair, clean, etc. A great group that helps out kids that need it.

There are two types of particiapants - Pledged and non-Pledged.

Pledged SMo-ggers go out and get pledges either by the hour or for the entire event and are elilgible for the "SMo-g Free for a Year" drawing provided they have any of thier break tickets left. The goal is to stay awake the entire 40 hours.

Non-Pledges SMo-ggers "self pledge" a minium amount and can nap or take a break when ever, but are not eligible for the "SMo-g free for a year" drawing.

ALL participants are eligible for the top three fundraiser prizes:
1. 1GB (2 x 512) of Ballistix PC4000 (DDR500)
2. Crystalfontz display kit of your choice
3. Logisys Blue Acryillic Case with UV CCFL

There will be a $10 registration fee (must be prepaid) and if you want a "I fragged 4 more kidz" shirt, the cost will be $10 that must also be prepaid (we have to pay for them before we can pick them up).

There is no limit as to how much you can get pledged - the more the better.

We will be running the "Iron Skillet SMo-gger 2005" event (along with lots of others) to find the best overall gamer for 2005 - 6 rounds of gamig (non stop until it's over)
1. UT 2004 Deathmatch (FPS)
2. Need For Speed Underground (Driving)
3. Warhammer 40K: Dawn of war (RTS)
4. DDR (yes, DDR)
5. Frogger on the Playstaion (Console)
6. Texas hold'em (well... cards)
The individual with the highest overallscore will be declared the "Iron Skillet SMo-gger 2005" and will recieve an nice prize pack and bragging rights for a year.

After adding up the pledge sheets and other cash donations - first count of money raised for the kids:

$2,725.00 - that is nearly twice what we raised last year. Our goal was $2,000 - I think we beat that.

say "yay" for geeks gaming for kids.

Peace,
Tim
