If you’re in either NYC, San Francisco, or Denver, tonight’s the night you get to rock out for a good cause at the fourth annual Fünde Razor, the officially-sanctioned fund raising event for Penny Arcade‘s Child’s Play charity, which is dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in their network of over 40 hospitals worldwide.
Fünde Razor is all about playing Rock Band, drinking some beer, having a great time and entering raffles to win prizes. If you’re in New York, there’s also a Rock Band tournament, which some of us (*ahem, like yours truly*) are waaay too rather excited to participate in. All proceeds from the raffles and tournament go directly to Child’s Play.
Here’s the pertinent info for each event:
