The Breachside Benevolence Ball: A Huge Success!!!

This post is going up a little later than we intended due to circumstances outside of our control…

but here it all is… just a little late 🙂

First off, the turnout on the day was good. We had numerous drops the day of the event but still managed 8 or so players in both events. The Event ran very smoothly, except for one hiccup after the first round of the GG tournament when we realized our computer program wasn’t matching the winners up for Round 2 as it should. Following that, we went to pencil and paper and everything worked out. The Silent Auction and Raffle went off with no issues but I’m thinking some people added a PED to their raffle tickets because we called a lot of the same names more than once 🙂

As far as the money raised; after Visa, Mastercard, & Paypal took their share… we ended up with $1,534.88for our Charity. Much THANKS to Octave and all of SoCal Malifaux for helping us to make this happen. Mags and I had pretty minor expectations as far as what the turnout and the amount of money we would raise might be, but in both cases our expectations were exceeded!!
