Supporting the Community |
| July 28th, 2006 |
Over the years Razer has sponsored about a zillion LAN parties and we normally don’t make a big deal of this or feature them on our site. That said I wanted to make an exception and blog about a recent LAN that we were one of the sponsors … I have strong feelings about what they did.
The guys and gals at Pure Adrenalin Gaming went beyond fun, community and competition and donated the proceeds from the PAGLAN event to local charity.
It’s one thing to recognize and reward gamers and their friends by hosting great local events, and while Razer certainly applauds and supports all LANs, it’s really cool to donate your time, money and hard work to a worthy cause. Let’s hope that other organizers, large and small, and even big leagues and event organizers read this and jump on the bandwagon.
Beyond our sponsoring events like this, in a few weeks I’ll be reporting on what Razer is doing to support worthy charities and how you can be a part of it.
If your group is planning a charitable gaming event please write me in advance – we want to be a part of the positive side of our community.

Hello Razer, I would like to start by saying how much we appreciate Razer choosing to sponsor our event. It truly would not have been a success without you. Our event had 117 attendees come through our door and 12 gamers who prepaid but did not show. All proceeds from this event went to the United Way of New Mexico. Razer products were a hit. We had gamers travel from all over the country and outside the United States for our event. Our furthest traveled gamer was from Pittsburgh, PA (1800 miles away) and our second furthest traveled gamer was from Vancouver, British Columbia (1568 miles away) Also gamers from Michigan, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico. This event got lots of media coverage. We had KOAT Channel 7 news at the event from start to finish. I am working on getting the clips to post on the websites. We also got coverage in a lot of local newspapers. Here is a link to the PR Coverage below: PR Coverage 1 We plan on taking a few weeks off to relax and than start planning the next one sometime around Mid July. Our next event will be in November 2006. Dates to be determined. We hope PAGLAN will have your continued support for the next event in November. Thanks again for everything. |
