Dave here. I have an announcement to make, and it's a big one, so bear with me...
Game Day started in 2014 as an idea based on a coffee table conversation. Erin and I thought we could maybe raise $1000 for Extra Life by having 100 people show up to play some video games. We called our friend Jeff Johnson to help us out.
As many of you are aware, it blew our expectation away. People were asking for more, so we did more. Game Day became an annual event, and we started hosting smaller events. Before long, others were contacting us to host events for them. We've raised over $20,000 for the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation over the years.
It's been 10 years now. It has been both an honour and a pleasure to see our volunteers grow from high school kids to adults with families of their own. That said, Jeff retired to the Council of Elders years ago, and now it's time for Erin and I to join him.
I'll remain involved with Game Day in some capacity as long as I'm able. It's a passion of mine that will never die. But it's time for younger blood to take the reins to organize the event.
Any of our volunteers, or anyone else interested, please message the page or myself personally (Dave Miller).
Thank you for your support over all these years, and I hope you'll continue to support Game Day for many years to come, with fresh leadership with new ideas.
