Welcome to Team Paizo's 2024 Gauntlet fundraising page!

We are team Paizo, creators of the Pathfinder and Starfinder roleplaying games. We couldn’t be more thrilled to join our friends at Gamers Engaged and Mox Boarding House once again for a day of fun and gaming for a great cause.  

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!

The Gauntlet In-Person Tournament

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! 

For more information on how to make a donation, please visit the team or individual pages to show your support!

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.
