Day of Games and Giving at Mox Boarding House to celebrate The Gauntlet: Infinity

What a week! The Gauntlet is just two days away, and we’ve already raised $90,000 for Treehouse – 50% more than our original goal! Thank you to our generous competitors and their friends and loved ones for giving so much for Washington’s foster youth.

Your contributions earn our Gauntlet gladiators power-ups for the tournament, but you can continue donating to Treehouse through Sunday by entering one of our raffles at Mox Boarding House Bellevue. We’ll also be auctioning off some sweet Magic: The Gathering loot in our eBay store through end of day Sunday, so you can help the cause from the comfort of your own home.
