Want to have some fun? And support a good cause?

The countdown is on for GeekWire’s first-ever virtual sports competition: Geeks Gaming for Good.

This one-of-a-kind Rocket League tournament — taking place on Wednesday, July 8 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. — will match eight company teams who will face off in the fast-paced hybrid soccer-car driving game.

Contact us at events@geekwire.com for information about registering your corporate team, pricing, sponsorship opportunities and other details.

A portion of the team entry fee will be placed into a collective prize pool, with the winning team designating a nonprofit of their choice to receive the funds. The three Rocket League players from the winning team also will receive round trip tickets on Alaska Airlines.

A big thanks to presenting partner Avalara and organizing partner Virtual Sports for helping to make this competition possible.  To get a better sense of the high-octane action and unique virtual experience, check out this promo video of what’s in store. May the best team win!
