The Halo Council and Gamers Outreach Foundation are proud to announce the Halo Council & Gamers For Giving Halo 4 4v4 Tournament taking place in Ypsilanti, MI on February 17th. The entire event will take place at the Eastern Michigan University Student Center from 10:00 AM Saturday, February 16th to 10:00 PM Sunday, February 17th.

Yes, you read that correctly. The entire weekend will be filled with non-stop gaming and eSports competition in the name of charity from Halo 4 to Call of Duty Black Ops 2.

The goal is to raise $15,000.00 to help support Gamers Outreach initiatives in 2013. All event costs and tournament prize pools are underwritten by our partners, which means your entry fee directly supports Gamers Outreach programs!
