Welcome to my Gauntlet 2024 fundraising page!

Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting my fundraising page! My name is Katina Davis, and I'm the Webstore Coordinator at Paizo Inc. I've been playing in The Gauntlet tournament since 2016 and captaining Team Paizo since 2018. 

This year, I'd love to blow our previous fundraising achievements out of the water! Will you join with me by making a tax-deductible donation? It’s fast and easy to do, and many will benefit from your generosity.

Thank you for your support! Together we can make a difference.

My incentives (examples below):

$10 - Cat Tax with doodle

Disclaimer: Alex told me I could steal his cat picture idea but I tried to at least put a fun twist on it! For a donation of $10, I'll send you a picture of one or both of my cats with little doodles on them (i.e. little cowboy hats, sunglasses, etc. You can make a request if you want!)

$20 - Team Paizo sticker

For those who donate $20, I'm creating an exclusive Team Paizo sticker, with a Gauntlet 2024 "Into the Deep" theme. It'll be around 3" on the largest side and have a holographic effect. I'll need your preferred shipping address to send this to you, shipping is included. 

$50 - personalized dice bottle (with dice)

Those generous enough to donate $50 will receive a personalized glass dice bottle containing a set of 7 polyhedral dice AND the sticker from the $20 tier. We'll work together to determine which designs will go on the 4 sides to represent the player or character of your choice. (For gifts, I've used the Pathfinder P and the player's name, as well as two symbols that represented their character in our home campaign.) I'll need your preferred shipping address to send this to you, but cost of shipping is included.

Example of a Pathfinder dice bottle for a player in my home group.

The Gauntlet In-Person Tournament

The Gauntlet: Into the Deep is an online fundraising campaign and culminating in-person tournament for the benefit of Gamers Engaged. Learn more about the important work of Gamers Engaged below!

On Sunday, May 19th, 2024,  sixteen teams will gather at Mox Boarding House game store in Bellevue, WA.  to compete in a contest of skill and chance,  to celebrate our 10th year of fundraising!  The whole day is a day of Games and Giving, and will be live streamed for viewers to engage in, as well.

During  the weeks leading up to the tournament, teams of four, from local community groups and games industry businesses, will raise donations for The Gauntlet.  These donations will unlock power-ups to aid them as they compete in a series of tabletop games to win glory, and victoriously hoist the Gauntlet! 

About our Beneficiary - Gamers Engaged: After 9 years as a successful employee engagement program at Card Kingdom, Gamers Engaged became an independent nonprofit organization, 501c3, in 2021. We are dedicated to creating meaningful change in our society by connecting individuals and games industry companies with nonprofits that can utilize their time, treasure, and talent! 

In 2024, with funds secured via The Gauntlet, we are thrilled to launch our new low-barrier grant program for nonprofits. Our grant program supports organizations that are making a big difference in areas such as basic needs, health/mental health, education, and community/neighborhood development in our Pacific Northwest backyard and across the United States.
