The Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show is a 100% volunteer run, non-profit organization and event. Our board, everyone organizing the show, everyone working at the event, and everyone donating games for you to play are volunteers.

Each year we give money to different causes. We’ve raised enough money to help place two new Stern Pinball game in local children’s hospitals, given away over $50,000 in scholarships to Northwest college students, and helped fund organizations like Tacoma’s Toy Rescue Mission and FabLab Tacoma.

Part of our mission also is education, and you will see that through our giving, our tech and teaching events at the show, and the mentoring we do through repair parties and the Junior Medic program.

Volunteers earn free passes to the show, invites to volunteer parties, and other perks as we continue to build and grow a large, fun, game loving community that helps put on the Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show.

Play, share, mentor, learn, grow, have fun, build community, and help others!
