๐ #GFG2026 GRAND TOTAL ๐
$1,800,000+ raised. Our BIGGEST event yet!
What a weekend. What a showing from so many incredible communities.
Thank you to everyone who donated, fundraised, attended, and supported. Your generosity will help bring more play to kids in hospitals.
Got lucky at the airport security today traveling with a replica Battle Rifle I was gifted at Halo Worlds.
Me to TSA: โExcuse me, I have a cosplay item from the video game Halo that will look alarming in the scanner. Itโs just a cosplay item and I want to give you a heads up.โ (Call me old fashioned but I didnโt want to use the word gun or weapon at the airport)
TSA: โIs it UNSC or Covenant?โ
Me: โโฆuhhh itโs UNSCโ
TSA guy clocks it perfectly: โIs that a battle rifle?โ
We chat for a couple minutes about Halo before they inspect it, tell me to not take it out of the bag, and to have a good day.
Before we head into the #HaloWC Grand Finals, hereโs a fun little trip down memory lane from 2011 to today.
If not for our encounter back then and their help I may never have signed @NickBestman, and without him Iโm certain we wouldnโt be here today to compete for the trophy!
