Big E Gaming Presents Bar Battle 3/Charity Fights 2 Tomorrow in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

by iantothemax on November 9th, 2012 at 10:00 pm

In an effort to raise funds for multiple charities in their area, the folks behind Big E Gaming have set up Charity Fights 2, their second annual charity tournament and the third event in the Bar Battle series. This year, they’re set to donate to three separate organizations (The Salvation Army, Marines Toys for Tots, and Women Against Abuse of Philadelphia), and they will also be accepting canned goods for local food pantries. All the information you’ll need to attend the tournament and details on every charity have been included below.

If you’ll be in the area and would like to help out those less fortunate then yourself, be sure to stop by, donate what you can, and get in on some great east coast tournament action.
