Charity Partners Announced For QuakeCon 2016
The annual celebration of id Software's franchises and PC gaming, QuakeCon, is coming to Dallas, Texas next week. This year, QuakeCon is partnering with a number of charities in hopes to give back to the community.
Acting as North America's largest LAN party, the festival starts on August 4 and runs through August 7. id Software and Bethesda Softworks promise to reveal more details about some of their upcoming games at the event as well as hosting competitive tournaments. The national and local charities that will be present at QuakeCon include the American Red Cross, 1Up On Cancer, Dallas Pets Alive, and Extra Life.
American Red Cross will be hosting a blood drive on-site, that participants can register for online ahead of the event. Donors will receive a limited edition Bethesda T-shirt based on the design from this year's E3 presentation, seen below.
Dallas Pets Alive will also have a presence at QuakeCon, accepting donations and bringing pets that visitors can adopt. The local charity will be holding raffles all weekend long for signed merchandise and a custom Vault-Tech themed Xbox One system.
Extra Life and 1UP On Cancer are both gaming-based fundraising groups that will be present and raising awareness and money during the weekend. The full schedule of panels and events for QuakeCon 2016 was recently revealed, which you can see here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
