We’re Almost There – Newbs Fundraiser!
Posted on: August 12th, 2011 by The JibWow, what an awesome turn out we’ve had so far! We completed Stage 1, and are well on our way to completing Stage 2. This really means a lot to us here at Newbs, I know Octo has been very pleased with the turn out. It’s amazing to see something that started so small, grow into what it is today. As I’m writing this we’re at $4125/$5000 (82.5%) which is phenomenal.
I wanted to give you guys an update on our plans for reaching our goal. We’ll be giving away the Burning Panama and Sunbeams Rack of course, as well as a ton of Steam games. We’ll draw names, and they get first pick from the lists. We’ll then have X amount given away afterwards during out Newbs Donator Party.. Which I’ll talk about in a moment.

Newbs Fundraiser Party!
Info from forums:
When: Tentatively 8/20/11 Saturday, in the evening – 6ish PST
Who: All donators will be invited (I think we’re around 50 donators), I’m assuming not everyone can make it, but donators have first priority for this event. After that, we’ll probably invite whoever is in steamchat at the time. (32 person server)
Where: Our BRAND new Trade map, Trade_Casino_Newbs (Any ideas on a better name? : P) UncleSam has brought our community great honor by taking an awesome map and adding some Newb touches to it. During our screening of one of the earlier versions, someone suggested we add a Disco to the map, which.. Let me tell you is coming along very nicely.
Whhat?: So basically we’ll start the evening off by announcing the winners of the steam games (list pending) as well as the unusual winners.. Hopefully they’ll be in attendance : )
THEN.. We’ll be giving away an array of hats and games for side contests like boxing or spycrabbing.
I’m planning on it being a couple hour thing, where we can all just get together as Newbs, and goof off.. Giveaway some great prizes, and break in our new trade map!
We haven’t met our goal YET, so next Saturday isn’t set in stone. I know Octo was hoping to reach $5000 by monday so he can start to get all the parts together, as well as have it up and running before our other GSP shuts down. If you’re interested in attending this event and haven’t donated yet, now is the time! We’ll be giving away several quality steam games, as well as a ton of hats!
We’re soo close to meeting our goal. If you have any friends that frequent the server and would like to purchase a reserve and have the money go towards a good cause let them know! They’ll get a shot at winning the unusuals, and can attend our wild after party : )
