A week before Christmas, tropical storm Washi (Philippine Code: Sendong) caused massive floods in Mindanao, leaving over a thousand dead and thousands more homeless. The staff of NYCAirsoft quickly organized a fund-raising event for the Philippine Red Cross, to be held the Monday after Christmas. There was less than a week to organize an event and the timing was awkwardly close to the Christmas weekend, but given the emergency, speed was of the essence.

Recognition goes to all the players who sent donations to the Red Cross, many of whom were unable to attend the event. Thanks to Strike Force Sports for accommodating the event at their training center and CQB arena. And thanks to Evike.com for donating the prizes for the target competition.

The Phlippine Red Cross still needs your donations. Please go to http://www.redcross.org.ph/donate

The event was in three stages: A pistol target course, a 1-hr private CQB session, and a rifle target course. The scoring was based on the time to hit all 12 "steel" targets modified by the placement of hits on two paper targets. The course would be run a first time with pistols and a second time using rifles/SMGs with the combined times for the final scores.
