Smash The Record: A Charity Event

To continue community week, we highlight Central Florida Smash who is running an event for charity

On August 22nd in Orlando, Florida, #SmashTheRecord will be a Guinness World Records charity melee marathon for “Longest Video Games Marathon Playing a Fighting Game.” The event will be streamed by VGBootCamp while being featured on the front page of Twitch.tv each day of the event!

Gaming Knights will be playing for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during the weekend to break the current record of 48 hours! Gahtzu, a GK team member and UCF student, will be playing for the record with the help of those attending the event!

With the help of the University of Central Florida, Gaming Knights were able to reserve a 5,000 square foot ballroom for the event, and aid players like Mang0, Mew2King, Soft out to the event and others like D1 and GimR too! Shortly after the event’s announcement, much attention was brought to the event, and shortly after, #SmashTheRecord made it over to the West Coast to attract HugS all the way to Florida!

If you would like to participate, help out or sponsor the event, please email Alex Chiricosta at cherry@knights.ucf.edu, or message him on Facebook at facebook.com/CherryFTW
