Greetings Mechwarriors!
We are pleased to announce the first round of the MercStar Charity Series. This series will feature a multitude of different events, generally focused around Mechwarrior Online. The goal is to help bring awareness to our community on how Multiple Sclerosis effects many of us and our loved ones, as well as to raise funds to help find a cure.
There will be multiple events, streamers, shoutcasts, a host of prizes to be won, and most of all, some explosive stompy robot action!
We hope everyone will come out to support the cause in one way or another, be it playing, watching, or donating. So check out the links and descriptions below for more information on what we have in store for the MWO community.
The event will be held on the MercStar TS Hub @ ts.mercstaralliance.com

The goal of this event is to help raise awareness, and money for The National Multiple Sclerosis Society . We will be asking for suggested donations from participants for each of the events, but it is important to note these are NOT mandatory. You can always show your support in other, non-financial ways, such as promoting the event and getting the word out. We are also hoping viewers of the streams and everyone else will pitch in towards our fundraising goals.
Many people and groups have helped support this event with prize support. If you have anything cool you would like to donate as a prize, please contact the event coordinators.
We hope the community will come together to open up their hearts for this great cause, and join us in the fight against this debilitating disease, in a number of different arenas throughout the event.
