YRSF Presents: Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Relief MvC3/SSFIV Tourny Sat April 16th

The recent tragic events in Japan have affected all of us either directly or indirectly. They need our help!

YRSF is proud to present our inaugural Tournament as a Fundraising relief effort with all proceeds going to the Red Cross of Canada in support of assisting Japan in its? recovery.

This is truly for a great cause and a chance for you to give back. We hope to see you come out and show your support. We are currently working with a variety of vendors and sponsors to provide additional goodies for the event.

There will be both a silent auction, raffle, and more during the course of the tournament.

I’d do it.
I just have to check out my schedule because it’s 3 days after bday so I dunno if friends and family are celebrating on the weekend before or after. Bah, even if I don’t make it, I’m sure I’ll make my contribution some how anyway(like buying an entry or something). Just make sure that I’m in the free stuff in spirit!

I’m down…

I’m totally in for this, also if you want I can supply a Nintendo Wii and if people want to Brawl i can bring it, more games more POWAH.

I’ll book off that weekend and I’ll be good to rock.

I’m in, I’ll help out with whatever you need, man let me just confirm I can get the day off work. Might be a little difficult as it’s crunching down unto inventory; I’ll see what strings I can pull.

Yo everyone needs to support this!

Sounds good, we’ll add Smash to the list of casual games. Thanks so much for your help!

Let me know, the more help the merrier!

This is an awesome idea. If I can find time (this is during the final weeks of my final semester of college) I will be there for sure. Good stuff and good luck with the fundraising.

Stickied, Good luck with the tournament

I’m down.

Im in but there is no ssf4 team tourny?

I’m in.

Not at this time but we may add if there is demand.
