I hope you have a wonderful time EU Players - Mr. Frozenwind and Queen Malafide are a delight! <3

I just want to personally thank everyone who came out to Quaggan Waddle on the weekend! We had over $775 in early donations and so far have gathered 5 legendaries and a really awesome infusion to give out at Pink Day - among other awesome prizes!

We appreciate all the support and loved the "Waddling" hype that everyone drummed up on NA and EU all day!

See you all on the 17th! #pinkday2020

Quaggan Waddle Hype! See you all in-game tomorrow - don't forget we are starting in Rata Sum!

The entire map for the quaggan waddle can be found here: https://gamergivingback.org/events/pinkday

See you all there! :D I will be live on the radio streams too :open_mouth:

Just a gentle reminder to the community that our first volunteer meeting is set for tomorrow (Saturday) at 1pm CDT - All players, guilds and streamers are welcome! Both NA and EU volunteers are needed :)

He is trying to get this edited - but Pink Day is officially on October 17th this year! Sorry for the confusion everyone! :)

Our first volunteer meeting is September 19th - see you all there! :)

Ahh I just saw this! I always liked celebrating with all of you! I hope you had a great party this year :)

On another note, Pride is a pretty inclusive event, so make sure to attend and be part of the event. If you are feeling like a minority in the gaming community...this event really shows that there are so many pockets of people that help you to feel supported, no matter your background! At least that is what my experience has been with this event the last 3 years. It is a positive and supportive space!

Hey Rouien!

So I spoke to Angel and we want to see this event celebrated as part of Pride. However, we would be more than willing to support a BLM event if it were created! I think it would be more powerful as a separate event. If you want to get it rolling, definitely let us know!

> I'm very glad that you guys are all doing this, but I hope this isn't just going to centralized on just LGBT+ considering everything that's going on. I would absolutely use this platform and event to gather black people, LGBT+ and everything between who play this game to speak out and just support our causes as well. We have hard ships (not just IRL as you can see) but, in online gaming communities were even the minority of people barely wants to recognize us or our problems, or just try to denounce it.

Hey! Thanks for the comment - I passed along your response to Angel. :)

I am not organizing this particular event - but am the founder of GGB. Just so you know who is responding to you.

So excited to be celebrating another year of Pink Day in LA!

Did you know - Pink Day is winning a charity award? More details about that will be shared on the 19th so make sure to keep your eyes and ears ( even the Asuran ones ) on all the awesomeness of Pink Day in LA! <3

Thanks to Arenanet and the whole community for continuing to support this event - see you in 10 days!

Hey!

We have an official post up now - sorry for the delay, we were awaiting the prize list release and confirmation <3

Hey ! Tyria Pride will be on June 22nd/23rd. Details will be announced after the Toga Party on May 11th! Our website will have details as well via gamergivingback.org.

To stay posted on all things hosted by GGB - join our Discord community! :)

Blackheart Gray that is awesome! Good on you for taking the initiative! <3 See you Saturday - Barbie

We will make sure to share this at Pink Day in LA as well, excited to see more charity related events in our community!

So excited that Pink Day is continuing this year! We have a fantastic team of volunteers on both NA and EU side this year and an amazing amount of prizes to give out to those that both participate and donate!

New this year - Our Charity of Choice : Canadian Cancer Society, will have someone in-game playing alongside us! Her sentiments were: " I am pretty sure I am going to be addicted to this game and this community after Pink Day" She will be on-air with myself during the first half of Pink Day to speak about where the Research Funding is provided throughout the world and some knowledge about the varying types of Cancer, their treatments and lowing your risks.

See you all there! #pinkday18

Hello everyone!

2017 marks the 10 year anniversary of the event - Pink Day in LA. 10 years ago a group of players decided to get together and dye their armor pink to show support to those with cancer or to pay tribute to those who lost their battle. We want everyone in our community to join us as we spread Pink over Tyria on October 21st.

*The official website for the event is here:*

Pinkday.gamergivingback.com

*We are raising funds for the event here :*

http://ccssk.convio.net/goto/Pinkday17

_*note that our focus for the funds raised is International Research Programs_

*Don't forget to send in your number from 1-1000 to donations@gw-en.com when you donate $10CDN or more to the cause!* (Donation Prizes will be posted in September)

*Can't donate to the cause but still want to help out? Here is what you can do:*

1. Help us spread the word. Share this forum post, follow us on Twitter @pinkdayinla or post your excitement via #pinkday17

2. Attend - your presence will help to create a powerful force that not only will help raise funds, but help give support to players that are affected by Cancer. Knowing that they have a fantastic community behind them while they either battle this disease or have lost someone is great.

3. We are actively looking for volunteers for the event as well. You can contact Yailith.4056 ingame or email rhonda@gw-en.com for details about you as an individual can help or how to get your guild involved.

4. Donate in-game items for prizes. Again contact Yailith.4056 for details.

5. Wear Pink all October long! You don't have to be in Lion's Arch to help make an impact. Get your PVP games on in Pink or encourage your guild to wear Pink all month long in World Vs. World.

*Don't forget to let us know you are attending by RSVPing to the event here:*

https://tinyurl.com/pinkday17rsvp

The event is going to be packed full of games, trivia, on-air shenanigans and of course, tons of Prizes!

The event is also going to have a reunion of sorts for players who started in Tyria - so make sure to get Guild Wars 1 installed, as we pay homage to Sadie our very own Pink Dye vendor. ( and friend who lost her battle with cancer)

Our website, media kits and details will be updated throughout September - but still don't hesitate to message myself or anyone else at Gamers Giving Back with any questions about the event!

* This event is open to NA and EU Players*

_REMINDER : Quaggan Waddle will be happening September 16th this year - so make sure to join this amazing event that was created to kick off our countdown to Pink Day!_

See you in Lion's Arch and thanks again for supporting our cause!

Rhonda aka Malibu Barbie
