EVENT: P-Plus Hoopin' 4 Haiti Charity Gaming Tournament!

hyperadmin | Events | Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Shouts to P-Plus for not only putting on what looks to be a unique and fun event but for also doing it for a great cause. Trust me, the competitors will be playing for some serious bragging rights too. I’m sure there will be many a tweet by the victor following the event lol. Boi-1da, Jester, Spex, John J, Ken Masters and a lot more are already scheduled to compete. More info here (http://www.djpplus.com/hoopin4haiti) or pop the hood for the full press release.

CAUSE
The recent devastation caused by the earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12, 2010 has called on the global community to offer their support and money towards rebuilding a country in desperate need.  For award winning DJ, P-Plus, the tragedy in Haiti has inspired him to do more than donate money. Upon hearing reports of the devastation, DJ P-Plus vowed to play a practical role in assisting with Haitian relief efforts. He has chosen to embark on a journey to Haiti with the grass-roots organization, Third World Awareness (TWA). TWA was established in 1989 by John Calaghan as a way to involve local youth in charity outreach work while experiencing other cultures first hand by traveling abroad.  Currently TWA brings young developing minds to developing countries.  Hands stretched in both directions representing the desire to teach and learn at the same time.

OVERVIEW
When DJ P-Plus decided to participate in the rebuilding efforts for Haiti, he set out to create an event to raise funds that was like no other. With gaming and music serving as two of his greatest passions, he wanted to find a way to merge the two things he loves most to raise capital towards the Haitian earthquake relief.

Similar to the format of the inaugural PLUGGED IN WITH P-PLUS event –where all proceeds raised from a silent auction were donated to Lupus Canada –funds raised from the gaming tournament will directly benefit those in Haiti and assist P-Plus on his humanitarian mission, as he heads to Haiti in May 2010.

On Thursday. April 29th, 2010, DJ P-Plus will present the second event in a series he calls, PLUGGED IN WITH P-PLUS. This gaming tournament will gather video game enthusiasts together for a one-day tournament taking place at one of Toronto’s hidden event spaces, Studio 99 (http://www.theoasi.com). The tournament will feature the hottest video game in the sporting genre, NBA2K10 where the ultimate winner will walk away with a grand prize and the fulfillment in knowing that they’ve contributed towards a worthy global endeavor. There will be a $50 entry fee for the tournament that will guarantee two games for each player over the age of 18.

The event will be hosted by on-air personalities Devo Brown and Jeni from the New FLOW 93.5 and T-Rexx from the Toronto initiative, 1 Love T.O. and The Remix Project – an arts, culture and life skills incubator serving young people across the GTA.  Many of P-Plus’ celebrity friends will attend the event and noteworthy DJ’s Starting from Scratch, Agile, Deuce, Spoonz, Lissa Monet and many more will provide entertainment throughout the tournament. With the support of New FLOW 93.5 FM and Proven Growth Media, the event aims to inspire and bring hope to those suffering from this natural disaster.
