Goal to raise at least $10,000 in one week

The fighting game community is taking a brief break from beating up on each other to join in the pursuit of a common cause: helping out the victims of Hurricane Irma.

Texas is still dealing with the disastrous effects of Hurricane Harvey, which destroyed hundreds of thousands of buildings and displaced more than 30,000 people, and already Florida is preparing for a potentially even worse experience as a result of Irma.

Southern California player Chris Tatarian has put together a donation page for the FGC to offer up their monetary support. It will be open from September 6th through September 13th, and is aims to raise at least $10,000.

This will be promoted this evening on both the Wednesday Night Fights and Next Level Battle Circuit streams so as to reach as many people as possible.

If you'd like to contribute, please head over to Tiltify to donate. If you could also help spread the word by sharing and retweeting on Twitter, that would also be a great help.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by these natural disasters.
