Cowlitz Gamers for Kids April 2nd, 2016 Charity Videogame Show

[+swlovinist]

I am happy to announce the 7th Annual Cowlitz Gamers for Kids Charity Videogame show to help raise funds for the Childrens Justice and Advocacy Center(CJAC). The last six shows have helped raise over $34,500 to the Childrens Justice and Advocacy Center (CJAC) and we're convinced we can do better this year with your help!

PRGE is once again absorbing much of the cost of putting on this show so that 100% of the admission will go directly to CJAC. It is CJAC's mission to provide children who have experienced sexual or physical abuse a coordinated community approach to investigation, prosecution and treatment that promotes their safety, healing, and well-being.

The show is at the same place as last year. The show will be on Saturday, April 2nd, 2016 at the Cowlitz County Regional Conference Center in Longview WA. 1900 7th Ave Longview, WA. The event will be from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Directions:

This years event is about 1 hour north of Portland or 2 hours south of Seattle on I-5. Doors open at 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM. Admission is $5, although we invite you to contribute more if you can! All admission goes straight to the non profit CJAC, which will be present at the show to answer further questions about how they service the community.

Which booth(s) will have the exclusives? I've made it to every one of these meets and have (I think) all the exclusives so I'd like to keep that mini-collection going.
