When it comes to charities, Ganyu tends to attend quite a few events in her spare time. It's a pleasant thing getting to participate in something that lets you connect with the community and so many different people. This time however, she was invited to something that was unique for even her. An organization called "Gacha Anonymous" was hosting an event to raise money to help people who missed out on characters they wanted recover from the mental trauma caused by it. For the event, they were hosting a celebrity ESports event for the game "Clash of Clans" where celebrity's would face each other to see who the Clash of Clans master was. Ganyu felt this was a bit of a hypocritical game to be playing due to it's pay to win elements, but she was here for charitable reasons and so she wasn't going to go against it. While she's never played Clash of Clans before, Ganyu has always been somewhat of a micromanaging master, and facing off against a bunch of other celebrities who most likely aren't really gamers, it was all in all a pretty easy sweep for Ganyu to win the tournament and become the "Gacha Anonymous Champion". She's sure her victory was very inspiring for those suffering from their gacha related problems.

Nathan Meagher took part in a charity event for St. Jude Pediatric Research Hospital where played in a 7v7 flag football game with group of researchers anddoctors who work for St. Jude, along with participating adults who paid a fee to play.  The charity event made its money by not only game fee which was $45 dollars but by selling food and merchandise for adults and children at the event.

Obviously being 6'4 and over 300 pounds Nathan had to take it easier than he did in both practice and in DSFL games, but was still active in the game due to his speed relative to the average joe (just imagine some 315 pound dude running across a 50 yard field in nearly six seconds and you'll jump out your shoes.)  Even got an interception on some recent doctorate who jawed off about being a D1 prospect but went instead to post-grad.

American Boot was contemplating the future games when he received a call to participate in a charity. More specifically, a sporting event. But not just any sporting event, it was a super smash bros tournament, where everyone puts $500 into the pot, and the winner chooses what charity it gets donated to. American Boot had never played super smash bros in his life. He had to rapidly prepare to even attempt to stand a chance against anyone else. Out of all the characters, American Boot decided to play the one who looked the most American, Terry Bogard. He practiced for hours, and thought he got quite good at him. American Boot walked into the event feeling very confident. He was placed into his first match, his opponent was a Marth player. Marth was very not American, so American Boot thought this would be an easy win. American Boot got three stocked, and that was the last time he played super smash bros.

Big Slammu, star of the hit reality TV show Street Sharks has had a history of charity drives and events he's hosted for kids. This years charity event involved a huge football camp he was running for the kids of the Honolulu community. It was a big success as kids of all shapes and sizes signed up to learn how to be the "shark" and get after the QB. Big Slammu showed kids something they really never see; his human form that he resides in before morphing into his gigantic shark frame that he uses for both football and fighting crime. While the kids were disappointed they'd never have the powers Big Slammu had to fight crime or sack the quarterback, they gained a much needed perspective on Big Slammu life. It isn't all fun and games and his line of work requires a lot of hard work, dedication and also pain. It ended up being a great life lesson.

Carter Knight is not an extremely charitable man, however, he decided to make an exception for this most recent week. Carter Knight participated in a javelin throw tournament in order to raise money for those that have been recently diagnosed with cancer. As an ISFL pro bowler and current top 3 MVP candidate, Carter figured if he participated in such an event it would do great things for society. Carter would be correct in his assumption, and was able to raise over $300,000 dollars towards cancer research, as well as a personal $100,000 donation from Carter Knight himself. Sadly, Carter Knight was unable to win this competition, coming second place to his good friend and best tackle, Stumpy Jones. Though he his a tree, Stumpy was somehow able to fling the javelin insane distances, and while his first attempt almost hit the crowd, the second throw went for miles. Carter was able to be much more accurate with the throws, but lacked the pure brutal strength to win the competition. All in all it was a fun day and much money was raised towards cancer research.

Charity softball events are fun for all especially those who once played the game of baseball or softball growing up. Kaz Jr's family has been in the business of sports for a long time now, practically the entirety of the ISFL's existence, so they know a thing or two about the charity game and have run their fair share of charity events. Any competition is right up their alley of course, you don't get into sports if you're not a competitive person at heart, and so when they're asked about an event like this you can bet on seeing every member of the family from Baltimore to Chicago showing up to the event. Being a gunslinger, focused on power and a fortitude for going deep, Kaz played right field and had a monster bat, hitting cleanup for his team and focusing on hitting it over everyone's head. at the end of the day though it's about raising money and playing for charity, and a charity of choice for the Oles family has always been the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
