Just sign up, and in the registration we have a selection for pilots who are working with sponsors only. In a couple days I am going to post a list of who needs a sponsor, and it should be known that if somebody wants to help but doesn't know who to sponsor, we will randomly assign a pilot who needs one to you.

[RjBass3]

The support this event has received has been amazing. Between the sponsors and all the individual donors, we have collected a nice pile of stuff to give away for both viewers and participants. Here is the running list thus far along with who donated the item.

* Notes Items that members of Robinson Rangers Brigade are not eligible to win.

Again all of these items were donated to the cause for viewers and participants. Anything marked Viewer can be won just by watching the Mechathon feed on Twitch and answering a Battletech lore trivia question correctly the fastest. Based off of the number of items received, an item will be given away on Twitch once every two hours. The Mechathon starts at 9 am CST, so the first item will be given away at 11 AM and then at 1 PM and so on.

If more items are donated, I will be sure to update this list. Thank you again to all those of you who have donated, and most importantly, thanks in advance to the participants and sponsors with who's help, we will help the youth in need.

just signed up this morning when i saw it's still possible to do so

i have nothing to do with CH or even america (sitting in europe), but i will gladly participate and donate for such a good cause, count me in

i only hope it is possible do donate via paypal or otherwise to someone who can forward it to them afterwards since i dont have a credit card (never needed it)

[RjBass3]

For a donation to count towards this specific fundraiser you need a credit card, however, through the main Covenant House website at covenanthouse.org you can donate using PayPal.

[RjBass3]

We currently have four pilots who really need sponsors. If you can't participate but want to help, these pilots could really use you. Please consider sponsoring a pilot for just .25 cents a kill. When it comes to these youth in need, every penny counts. Again, you can register as a sponsor at the following website: https://www.firstgiv...294838/Donation If you don't have a specific to sponsor, a pilot will be randomly assigned to you.

The four pilots currently needing sponsors are:

Stefshepardrox (RRB)
Mercenarie (RRB)
Spyder (RRB)
Makaru (CI)

so in this case after the event i could actually donate via the main website and "prove" it with a screenshot or something like that?

[RjBass3]

Works for me.

[Meihru]

perfect ^.^

[RjBass3]

I have been informed by Covenant House that all donations coming from this event need to be in by the 28th. This is because of the fiscal year end. After the 28th the MWO4CH fundraising page will be shut down. So if you are participating, please be advised that your contributions need to be received by June 28th. Thanks.

Rj I would love to help you. I don't have any money I can give, but if you need any help with the stream or anything, let me know and I will see what I can do.

[Fyrehawk]

Signed up for $1 a kill, I'm ready to rock this! Will also be Co-streaming @ Twitch.tv/fyrehawk21

I appreciate it. A couple NGNG hosts have already signed up and NGNG is an official sponsor of the event. If you are on and broadcasting you should come join us for some drops. It will be fun, and thanks for the support, it is greatly appreciated.

[Nephoros Sradac]

If I sign up, will it matter if I only bring Clan Mechs?

[RjBass3]

Nope. Just get kills and help the kids.

[Tesunie]

Looks like a great cause. I won't be able to do anything to help, but I wish you the best with this event.

[RjBass3]

Ok, so only a few days out from the Mechathon and I realized that I forgot an important piece of information. While all participants are free to drop as they wish during the 24 hours, the main participant group will be on the Robinson Rangers TS server located at RRB.Enjinvoice.com. If you are a registered participant, just hop on our TS server and get into the Mechathon Sync Room channel and as soon as there is space you will be dragged into the main channel.

Also we have received more gifts to give away. The prize and gift list above has been updated to reflect the changes. Any prizes marked for participants only are just for that, Mechathon participants. The pilot who earns the most in the 24 hour period will be given first choice of the participant only prizes and then it goes down the ladder from there. So far we have 11 Participant only prizes, so the top 11 pilots (excluding myself) will be the winners of those items.

[SpartanOfValor]

What time does it start RJ?

[RjBass3]

9am CST.

[TWIAFU]

Are we required to wear pants while participating in the Mech-a-thon?
