Help Bay Area FGC Bounce Back After Theft

Hello Friends, fellow FGC community members, and wandering strangers,

We're reaching out to you as we've experienced an unfortunate incident within our community. Earlier this week, on Wednesday 8/21/24, our sister organization (Only The Group - OTG) was unfortunately robbed at gunpoint while setting up for their bi-weekly fighting game tournament in Oakland. Thankfully no one was hurt but several consoles/equipment were stolen and windows were broken. The effects of this incident have been devastating as both MADHouse/OTG run off community support and do these events for the love of the fighting game community. https://x.com/otg_oaklandfgc/status/1826425846544171443 <= Video of the incident in question

How You Can Help

We're reaching out to the community to help us rebuild what was lost so we can continue what we do which is holding fighting game tournaments all over Northern California. Every little bit helps.

What Your Money Goes Towards

Who We Are

MADHouse is what people would describe as an FGC traveling circus as in we go all over the bay to setup fighting game tournaments open to all and we always do our best to not charge venue fee as we aim to remain community focused.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to read our story and we hope you consider donating or even sharing our story. In turn, we'll do our best to come back even stronger and better than before. Anything that goes beyond our goal will go towards more setups/equipment to make the locals even better for everyone!

Thank you for your generosity and support!

With heartfelt gratitude,

MADHouse and OTG
