24-Hour Charity LAN Parties and Online Fundraising
Welcome to The Home of The LANathon℠
A LANathon is a 24-hour, overnight gaming LAN Party hosted by Gamer Society in partnership with a community organization or venue.
LANathon participants will enjoy free food, chances to win prizes, and the opportunity to support Gamer Society’s nonprofit initiatives.
Sort of like a charity 5k, LANathon participants are challenged to raise a certain amount of funds to be eligible for an invitation to the LAN party.
Follow Gamer Society on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram for updates on upcoming annual and pop-up LANathons. You can also join the community on Discord to meet other supporters and get insider news as it becomes available.

As a LAN Participant
Attending as a LAN participant is by invitation only. But don’t worry! Here’s how to get invited:
Step 1) Register your own campaign through Classy.org
Please note: only 40 LAN invitations total are available on a first come, first-serve basis. Once the last invitation is given out, a waiting list will be created. In the event invited LAN participants can’t make it, eligible participants will be contacted in the order they entered the waiting list.
Step 2) Raise or donate at least $25 via your personal campaign page
LAN seats can be reserved by creating a Fundraiser page and reaching at least $25 in starting contributions.
LAN seats are offered to fundraisers in the order the $25 opt-in pledge is achieved. This can be raised or donated directly by each fundraiser.
Eligible LAN participants will be provided with their own station that includes internet access via ethernet cable and two outlets for one monitor and a PC or console. Please note: we recommend bringing your own ethernet cable at least 15ft long. Custom ethernet cables will also be available for purchase at the event.
Step 3) Get entered to win a prize for every $50 raised
That’s right. For every $50 raised, as a fundraiser you’ll receive another chance to win a FREE game key provided by one of our generous sponsors.
