Engage Program
ENGAGE is the corporate giving and community outreach program for Mox Boarding House, a division of Card Kingdom, Inc. Through charitable giving, intentional service, fundraising, and in-kind donations, ENGAGE extends our vision to the communities where we live and play.
WHO WE ARE
The Engage Program became a reality in June 2013 with the launch of our longest-running charitable event series, The Gauntlet. Our focus is to bring support and awareness to local charities whose mission it is to improve education, fulfill basic human needs or support our neighborhoods and communities. We aim to connect with you, our employees, and our community to give in big and meaningful ways through product donations, in-kind support, and volunteerism.
Each year, the Engage team hosts The Gauntlet, a day of games and giving at Mox Boarding House Bellevue. We invite game companies and gaming organizations from within the Puget Sound area to compete in a gauntlet of tabletop games and raise money for a non-profit that directly affects our community. Since 2013, we have raised over $650,000 for local non-profits, including Hopelink, Youthcare, Wellspring and Treehouse.
