2nd Annual Midnight Riders FIFA Tournament

Posted by

FIFA: Where video game and soccer nerds unite.

You’re ready. Your thumbs are strong enough to mold steel. You can operate that controller with lightning-fast accuracy. You haven’t thrown a controller across the room in frustration in at least 72 hours. You’re at peak performance and ready to vault yourself into legend. It’s time to take your expert skills to the big show and square off against the best of the best at the annual Midnight Riders FIFA Tournament.

The Midnight Riders are proud to partner with ThinkTaylor, Taylor Twellman’s charity for education, support and fundraising to promote positive outcomes from sports-related brain concussion, for this awesome event. We’ll be setting registered players up into brackets, we’re taking over the Greatest Bar in downtown Boston and will face off in FIFA 13 matches in single-elimination until a champion is crowned (jubilant carrying through the streets of Boston optional). Register today as either a Player or a Spectator to reserve your spot (it’s cheaper to register in advance, plus you’ll be certain you have a spot) and make sure to pick up an event t-shirt. We’ll have prizes for the winners, a raffle for more awesome stuff, and all the proceeds will go to benefit ThinkTaylor. Sign up today!

Midnight Riders Movember

Do you have what it takes? Did you spend your morning felling redwoods with shockwaves from your rippling biceps? Need to stay in form during your bareknuckle boxing fantasy league off-season? Fed up with the viscosity of your soup and need a better filtering system? Is the excess testosterone escaping abundantly via your upper lip trumped only by the depths of your hatred for all things cancerous?

The Midnight Riders understand you. We love manliness and brawn, too, and hate cancer even more. With our moustachioed powers combined into a fiendish horde of defiant righteousness, we shall deliver the man cancer research system a financial performance enhancing injection that will send these tumorous miscreants up to their bedrooms to cry shameful tears in their japanese cat backpacks.

Join our glorious president and leader supreme Fran Harrington as he leads the Midnight Riders to a glorious victory on the field of hirsute splendor with Movember.

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital awareness and funds for men’s health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives. The funds raised in the US support prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. The funds raised are directed to programs run directly by Movember and our men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, the The Lance Armstrong Foundation. Together, the three channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programs in line with our strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.
