[edit] Pink Day in LA 2011
[edit] October 15th 12pm - 6pm (CDT)
Pink Day in LA 2011 has been confirmed. Once again the event will take place in the international districts of Lion's Arch.
[edit] What Is Pink Day in LA?
Pink Day in LA is a charity fundraising event, hosted within Guild Wars. Its aim is to raise support and awareness for breast cancer during October (breast cancer awareness month). The event is currently supported and organised by the Gaming World Entertainment Network and Gamer's Giving Back.
[edit] Pink Day in LA History
“"On June 16th, 2007, the first Pink Day in LA took place in the international districts of Lion's Arch which was full of players in different armor sets all dyed a different shade of pink."
— pinkday.gw-en.com
The first Pink Day in LA took place on June 16th 2007 and was followed up with an event in 2008. The original organisers could not commit to hosting the event in 2009. In 2010 GW-EN and Gamer's Giving Back revived the event and raised over $11,000 for the Cancer Canadian Society, surpassing the original goal of $1,337. This was only achieved due to the generosity, support, and awesomeness of the Guild Wars community.
[edit] What happens during the event?
First and foremost, everyone wears pink!
In 2010 ArenaNet added the pink dye vendor Rosa Salvitas especially for the event. ArenaNet has also included Rosa in this years event.
Just like other in-game events, districts will be hosted by various guilds, alliances and groups. There will be in-district games, trivia and give-aways. On-air trivia (GW-EN Radio) and there will be a few other ways to get involved this year. There is also a chance to win some prizes outside of the game by donating a minimum of $10 (CND). To find out more about all the prizes, keep an eye out for updates on the official Pink Day in LA website.
[edit] GM Presence
In 2010, Emily Diehl and other GM's travelled through the districts and mentioned that the event was community run. Emily was also wearing Pink to support the event.
“"Remember that the full credit for this event goes to the Gamers Giving Back team and all of their supporting guilds" - "This is actually all fan run! We just donated the dye :)" - "Martin is around somewhere. I believe Regina may be popping in too, but she's currently travelling".
— Emily Diehl
[edit] ArenaNet at Comic Con
During the Guild Wars 2 panel at Comic Con (2011), Colin Johanson (Lead Content Designer for Guild Wars 2), announced Pink Day in LA. Asking for people to get involved and show their support for the event.
