24 hours Charity WvW Raid on Piken Square

[lordkrall.7241]

The main purpose of raids is to have a good time with all of you, but sometimes we all need to up our game to do something good in this world.

 

One of the big commanders on Piken, Ducky, is raising money constantly for charity on his stream. CMON decided to support him and the organisation checkemlads.com and do a charity raid together with you lovely people on Piken.

 

Checkemlads helped Ducky through some dark times with support/counselling and he has beaten Testicular Cancer twice. He raises money for them so they can help more and more men with Testicular Cancer.

 

Hopefully we, all together, can raise some money for the good cause of getting the info about testicular cancer out to the public and make more people aware of how important it is to take care of yourself and help others.

Hi everybody!

 

I just wanted to pop up a big thank you and to let you know that everyone involved managed to raise a whopping €2289.00 in Aid of Testicular Cancer and more specifically Check’em’lads a charity that helps sufferers and survivors alike. We had a massive squad following on the EU server Piken Square, the Piken server (Guilds and individuals) donated thousands of gold and items to give away across the whole 24 hours and the whole thing was streamed on Twitch. It was an absolutely amazing event and a fantastic thing to be a part of. Another huge goal of ours was to raise awareness of Testicular Cancer and how to check yourself properly so if we even helped one person out there then this (Crazy Raid) was a giant success!!!

 

We had five commanders running over the 24 hour period Azizi, Hooty, Slackin, Qap, myself (Ducky) and our competition hosts Krall/Namkha. So I just want to thank them for the time and effort they put in but also to other members of the CMON guild who gave up their time enthusing social media, online gaming magazines and braving the Redditsphere to publicize and gain momentum for our event. Two big shout outs are for two great people Azizi who with her organisational skills kept everything organised and planned out and Lord Krall who stayed up the whole 24 hours and had organised the giveaways and prizes for most of the raid.

 

So finally to Piken Square you are a marvel, to the Guildwars 2 community your are phenomenal and to Whiteside Ridge I hope you enjoyed your loot bags ?
