Fallen Heroes Charity Alert: This Memorial Day Weekend

[Carivana]

Few causes can unite the warring factions of Auraxis, but this Memorial Day weekend, we’ve finally found at least one. The Terran Republic’s Black Widow Company and BattleGroup Mattherson present, in cooperation with the Vanu Sovereignty’s Nightmare Battalion, the Fallen Heroes Charity Alert: a 3-day drive for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and International Rescue Committee.

Intrepid Fallen Heroes works to provide care for US service members and veterans who suffer from traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress, the invisible wounds of war. The International Rescue Committee charges to the front in emergency efforts, responding to the worst humanitarian crises in the world. BWC and BGM invite all Mattherson soldiers to join us in battle, and online, for this fantastic cause.

The festivities begin for all of BattleGroup Mattherson this Friday, 23MAY. Opening ceremonies begin at 1900 EDT, streamed directly to Twitch and happening inside your PlanetSide 2 client, just a click and a character away. From that point forward, the action won’t stop until near close of day at 2300 EDT on Sunday, 25MAY. And BattleGroup Mattherson promises to be out in force.

If you want to go all in, Nightmare Battalion [NTMR] and Black Widow Company [BWC] are both raising funds for charities directly benefitting those men and women whom Memorial Day honors. Black Widow Company’s official charity, Play To Give Back™, will be collecting funds from TR faction members for Intrepid Fallen Heroes and the International Rescue Committee this weekend. Donation information for PTGB™ will be posted frequently during the event on the BWC Twitch channel, or you can click here for more details. Nightmare Battalion has also created a CrowdRise page for their fundraising effort, which you can find by clicking here.

Help kick off this Memorial Day with a 72 hour gaming marathon in honor of all the sacrifices made by those in uniform. Or, just log in for extra fights at all hours of the day. Either way, we’ll see you on Auraxis.
