Every year, Gamers for Giving brings together hundreds of gamers for a weekend-long celebration—part competitive tournament, part LAN party, and part streamathon. More than just fun and games, the event is a powerhouse fundraiser supporting Gamers Outreach programs, which deliver entertainment to hospitalized children across the country.
At the heart of this initiative is Gamers Outreach, a nonprofit using the power of play to create joy in pediatric hospitals. For their 10th anniversary in 2018, the team wanted to create a next-level experience that honored a decade of impact and inspired even greater support.
With a major milestone to celebrate, the pressure was on to elevate the entire event—from production quality to audience engagement. Gamers Outreach needed a partner who could transform the atmosphere and deliver a broadcast-ready experience for both in-person attendees and online viewers.
Enter Bluewater. As a trusted event production partner, Bluewater collaborated closely with Gamers Outreach to bring the vision to life. The team provided a professional stage for live interviews, seamless projection for stream feeds and IMAG (image magnification), immersive lighting design, and full technical support throughout the weekend.
The result? A dynamic, immersive event that matched the energy and mission of Gamers Outreach. More importantly, the 10th anniversary celebration raised an incredible $772,598.59—a record-breaking amount that helped expand access to entertainment for children in hospitals nationwide.
