Hello Everyone!
It is that wonderful time of year again when we gather together ingame and get in touch with our Pink Sides! ( For a great cause!)
Pink Day in La will not only be in Guild Wars 1 this year---but Guild Wars 2, Rift, League of Legends and Firefall as well!
However-- we can't forget where Pink Day began and that is in the Guild Wars community.
Here are the details for this year:
Why?
5 years ago a group of gamers got together and decided that wearing Pink in game was a great way to support, remember and create awareness about Breast Cancer Research- Fast Forward to today- We believe that wearing Pink can do all these things AND help to find a cure, with your help! Gamers love missions and quests - so here is your mission: Help us create awareness about all types of Cancer and help us fight to find a cure!
When?
OCTOBER 20th - 12pm- 6pm Central Time (-6 GMT)

** Since GW 2 is so new and Guesting has not be implemented yet- we have come up with a strategy to make sure that everyone can participate to the fullest. We really want people to be able to participate- so out of the the meeting today we have a possible 9 servers that are prepared to be hosted for the actual ingame event. Details are as follows -- so far. Servers and Details are subject to change based on changes over the next month. (Thanks for your patience)
Remember ~ LA = Lion's Arch
Hosted Servers = Events will be planned for the server-but other servers are welcome to be Pink in Lion's Arch with their own events based on guild/alliance discretion (Hosts listed in Pink - ? means still confirming)

ATTENTION ALL DONATORS!
Please include your IGN (In-Game Name) with your donation if you are contributing. This will be helpful for us when it comes to the prize drawing list. All people who donate will have a set of prizes that they have a chance to win for contributing! What you need to do:
*Multiple donations of more than $10 are only counted as one entry for the raffle.
** If you donated to the team page rather than the Pink Day page, DON'T FRET. You can still e-mail a number in and it still goes to the Canadian Cancer Society!
- Post your IGN along with your real name (optional) when donating. (IF you do not play Guild Wars/Guild Wars 2, make sure your name is included as some of the prizes are NOT in-game items )
- E-mail [email protected] with a number from 1-1000. If duplicate numbers are chosen, we will keep picking prizes from the list until we move on to the next number selected! *
- If you are selected as a winner, you will be contacted via the e-mail used to select your number. If the prize needs to be mailed to your home, you will need to, at this time, provide your address.
