In keeping with our mission to promote the positive aspects of games, Nuke-Con supports the United States Marine Corps in its annual Toys for Tots campaign.

The Nuke-Con community was enormously generous in 2010, donating toys and money worth more than $1200. We hope to top that mark in 2011, and we need your help again.

You can start the weekend with this throwback to your own childhood:
Friday, 6 pm join the most grueling game of Candyland you’ve ever played. The $5 donation at the table will go directly to Toys for Tots.

Thank you all for helping out!

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic killer of children. CF causes mucus to build up in the organs and chokes off the child’s ability to breathe and digest food. These children undergo hours of violent shaking in concussion vests to break up the thick mucus.
