This is a 100% volunteer run, non-profit event!

This show is put on by a non-profit organization and is fully run by volunteers. Each year we give money to different causes. Last year we raised enough money to place a new Stern Pinball game at the Seattle Ronald McDonald House, over the years we’ve given away over $50,000 in scholarships to students at Northwest colleges, along with thousands to local organizations like Tacoma’s Toy Rescue Mission and FabLab Tacoma. Volunteers get free passes and other perks for helping, and there is a huge, fun community behind this show.
