Thanks again for your generous support of the event. The final count for attendance to the Warfan Toys for Tots 2008 Tournament was 42 players, matching last year's attendance and making this the largest event we've sponsored for 2008. We were able to donate 50+ toys and $1437.00 to the Marine's Toys for Tots Campaign!! Sponsors donated 50+ prizes which were raffled off and given as awards.
We'll be starting the planning for next year's event in January, working towards the goal of becoming a GW circuit event. This will attract more players to the event and increase the overall donation we can give to the Marine Toys for Tots foundation. We'd appreciate your support towards goal and next year's event.
Thanks,
Nayef Z. Smith
President, Warfan gaming club
