Our first event "Retro Gamers Unite" was an outstanding success, beyond all expectations! Over 550 local retro video game fans raised more than $1500 and 500lbs of donations for Winnipeg's Lighthouse Mission, the city's longest running homeless shelter!
 

Thank you to everyone who came and donated, to all the volunteers and our sponsors, whom without them we wouldn't be able to do any of this!
