I am charged with exploring the feasibility of a video gaming tournament in downtown Eugene. The event would double as a fund raising event for the 15th night organization to help youth experiencing homelessness in our community. (http://www.15night.org/ ). We have identified commercial space downtown and have commitments from our downtown tech companies. I am looking at a end of February or early March weekend. My questions are:

1. Is this community ready for such an event?

2. Does it sound like fun?

3. Who are the additional partners and who can help make this event a reality?





I am leaning towards an Overwatch/Destiny 2 event but open to the community's ideas. Overwatch is on my mind because during our U.S. Ignite interview, one the interviewers mentioned kicking our butts regularly in Overwatch. I think we have been challenged!
