Starlight Week Zing and EB Games, Mackay - Nighthawk - Sunday 13-May-2018
Date :
Saturday May 5th and Sunday May 6th, 2018
Venue :
Caneland Central, Mackay
Time :
9.00am - 4.00pm
Mission :
Joining other cosplayers and the Zing and EB Games crew as part of their annual fundraiser for Starlight Foundation
Trooper Attendance :
TripleSix
pecklez
Gix
Nighthawk
Grimlee_TheSkald
Xmex
Funds raised: $3355.19
Details : After clogging up the space in front of the shop last year, Canelands gave Zing an open space next to the food court this time around, which meant heaps of room for an Iron Throne and lots of photo opportunities. As well as our 501st/RL presence we had the crew from MagnetiCon (Townsville) dressed variously as Loki, Darth Revan and Rapunzel, and the Zing crew who were all in GoT costumes. Photos were taken, cans were rattled, prizes were raffled and auctioned and a good (but tiring) time was had by all. Looking forward to going bigger and better again next year.

Just heard that nationally, Zing/EB Games raised $835,403.00 for Starlight Foundation over the course of the week. Still waiting on the individual store amounts but what an awesome effort.

Just heard that the Mackay store raised $3355.19 which was a little over their target of $3057
Congratulations to everyone involved.
