HISTORY
Gamers Engaged started as the Engage Program- the Corporate Giving Program for Card Kingdom and Mox Boarding House. From 2012- 2020, the Engage Program hosted many successful fundraising events. Gamers Engaged was born in October 2021, and continues to host the Gauntlet and other high impact opportunities for gamers to give.
Since 2014, through the efforts of hundreds of generous gamers, Gamers Engaged has raised over $747,309 through the Gauntlet alone!
