PARTNER WITH US IN 2027
Help Us Make More Magic
for Local Kids.
MTGForKids.Org brings Magic: The Gathering players, businesses, artists, and volunteers together to support Children's Miracle Network at Freeman Health System through Extra Life. We're seeking partners to help grow our 2027 community event in the Joplin area.
A Community That's Growing
What started as a local Pauper tournament has grown through the generosity of players, game stores, donors, artists, and businesses. Our 2026 tournament reached its 64-player venue cap. For 2027, we're targeting 100+ Pauper players with a larger venue, plus potential additional attendance for side events, vendors, artists, and casual Commander play. These are planning goals, not confirmed attendance. Your partnership can help us make that expansion possible while keeping the focus on supporting kids.
642026 players — our venue capacity
$12,000+raised through our 2026 Extra Life fundraiser
$20,000+raised for local kids over our fundraising history
Ways to Support the 2027 Event
We're open to discussing partnerships that fit your organization. Potential opportunities include:
Financial Support
Contribute toward approved event needs or support the fundraising effort directly. We'll discuss the intended use and recognition before any commitment.
Product & Prize Donations
Magic accessories, playmats, cards, gaming products, gift cards, experiences, and other items can support tournament prizes and fundraising activities.
In-Kind Services & Community Support
Printing, signage, refreshments, equipment, event services, and promotion can all help make a bigger gathering possible.
What Sponsors Can Expect
We want every partnership to be meaningful. Depending on the type and scale of support, we can discuss appropriate recognition through event materials, our website, social media, and on-site acknowledgments. Specific sponsorship packages, benefits, and event details are still being developed; no recognition placement is guaranteed until agreed upon.
Where the funds go: Our Extra Life fundraising benefits Children's Miracle Network at Freeman Health System. Event operating sponsorships and direct charitable donations are distinct, and we'll be clear about which purpose a contribution supports. MTGForKids.Org is a community fundraising project; please do not assume a sponsorship payment to the organizer is tax-deductible. For direct charitable giving, use our Extra Life fundraising page.
