Yesterday, Holly and I hosted “Game of Four“, which was a Connect Four tournament for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training. It was all to raise funds for our training for Ironman Canada in a few months. West 4th / Jane, a usual host for our MAN v BAR pub crawl fundraiser, was very happy to help us out. They usually have these types of tournaments, so all the board games were provided. A TNT teammate from the tri team, Dana, also hooked me up with marketing and documentation on when she did the exact same event a few months ago. We had a bunch of door & opportunity drawing prizes, such as movies, video games, bike apparel, running shoes, concert tickets to the Wiltern and The Roxy in Hollywood. We had a pretty good turnout (not as much as MAN v BAR), but enough to have a good 4 hours of drinking and playing fun. We also gave away West 4th / Jane gift certificates and Connect Four board games. I have to admit, we were a bit tired from the morning’s practice, but we powered through for what we thought was a successful event!
So, what do you think ?
