My Project

Thanks to amazing donors like you, the Gamer's Alliance was born six years ago. Since that time, hundreds of students have had the opportunity to learn and practice leadership skills by planning, organizing, and running gaming events for thousands of students in our school and the community! And we're just getting warmed up!

My amazing students have a dream to do even more by mentoring elementary students, but we need more equipment!

Students do a good job taking care of the equipment we have, but electronics only last so long, and some of our controllers don't work as well as they used to.

We need four Nintendo Switch controllers to replace those that have worn out to keep our events moving forward. They want to do even more events to bring students in our school together, teach others sportsmanship, and just have fun in a safe environment where students are in control!
