Help kids That Lost their Dad in The Military

We are bringing 12 kids that lost their Dads in the military to Denver Colorado to play in a pro Rocket League competition along side the active-duty military teams. The kids will be wearing flight suits with their Dads names and organized into 3-person teams representing the Navy, AF, Army and Marines. Each Gold Star Kid gets the full pro experience including interviews, gaming on a stage with an audience, meeting the pros, prizes and a chance to win the cash cup. All these kids were selected because they have used gaming as a way to process and heal from the trauma of losing their Dad. Our next tournament will be in honor of Veterans Day.

Gold Star Gamer Kid, Duffy, is 11 years old and is an avid gamer.

Duffy's Story:
Duffy's Dad was a Ranger, Delta Force, and Special Forces Soldier.

Duffy's Dad was a wounded warrior that survived a helicopter accident.
Duffy and his Dad gamed together as a way to stay close while his Dad was away.
l5 months ago Duffy lost his Dad in a tragic accident.
Duffy continued to game with his Dad as a way to process the anger, pain, and loss. Duffy felt like his Dad was with him when he made it to Champion level In Fortnite at age 10.
Gold Star Gamers is making Duffy's dream come true by playing in a competitive tournament.

Duffy says the best part of GSG so far is he gets to play with Soldiers in uniform like his Dad.

Help Duffy and the rest of the team get to Denver Colorado for the chance to live out their dreams of playing in a pro tournament.
