Game On: Geeks Who Game for Philly Futures

March 17, 2009 in Events,Gaming with 3 Comments

So, what are you doing next Thursday night? If you can’t think of anything better than watching your Enterprise re-runs (or even if you can…), come out to Tattooed Mom’s on South Street for G2: Geeks who Game!

On March 26th, Geeks Who Give will be hosting Philadelphia Futures Game Night and Mentor Drive. Admission is a minimum of one jump drive or one package of school supplies (pens, notebooks, highlighters, etc).

The evening is in support of Philadelphia Futures, a local non-profit, that has been helping Philadelphia’s youth help attain higher education for two decades. They match students with mentors for the duration of their high school education, and provide academic support with tutoring, college visits, SAT prep and the like. They are “looking for a few good geeks”, mostly in the form of new mentors for their incoming Freshman class to support the city-wide program.

Games run from 6-9pm, and there will be board games to card games, and maybe even a few made up games (I’m hearing rumors about Werewolf) … And, of course, drink specials!

- $1.50 Pabst Blue Ribbon
- $3.00 Yards Philly Pale
- $3.00, Philadelphia Brewing Company Kenzinger
- $3.00 Hamburgers or Vegan Burgers.

If you can’t attend G2: Geeks who Game, but would like to be involved with Geeks Who Give, Philadelphia Futures or would like more information about either, please contact Kara at info@geekswhogive.org!

Game on! The Geekadelphians hope to see you all there.

    Is there an age limit?

    @Dave The only age restriction in place is probably just 21+
