Pokémon Tournament Benefitting Susan G. Komen For The Cure

Northwestern University and the University of Washington’s Pokémon clubs will cohost a Pokémon Showdown video game tournament to raise funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure October 25-27, 2024. This fundraiser is in memory of Rachael Lillis. Lillis, an actress who voiced many iconic characters in the Pokémon Anime from 1998 to 2006, who fought a valiant battle against breast cancer until she passed on August 10, 2024.

There are two ways to support this great fundraiser (Competing Trainers, see number 2).

1. For Those Looking to Support the Cause:

We appreciate your support! 100% of donated money will donated in full to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

2. For Competing Trainers:

If you are competing, the minimum donation to participate is $5, with an upcharge of $1 if you use a rental team. As Rachael did her best voice work in the mid-2000s, this tournament will be in the Gen 3 OU format. Any collegiate player can enter with alumni eligible up to two years removed.
