Events

Rare Drop host many online events and one convention a year, they started with a bar meetup for fans of Destiny the video game. The bar meetup evolved into DestinyCon, which was a convention to celebrate the Destiny community. During the time as DestinyCon, the founders of Rare Drop, KingGothalion(Cory), ProfesssorBroman(Ben), and Kmagic101(Kevin), decided to turn the meet up into doing something good for the world. They decided to raise money for St. Jude Children's Hospital. As the Charity and DestinyCon quickly outgrew bars, the founders decided to move it to a full-fledge convention that became GuardianCon. GuardianCon continued to show substantial growth in both attendance and the amount of money raised for St. Jude. At this point, the Rare Drop team decided to bring on another partner and friend Darkness429(Tim). As the convention had already outgrown the venue in Tampa, Florida, they had to move to a more significant site in Orlando, Florida. After this move and the most successful convention to date, GuardianCon was rebranded to Gaming Community Expo to show that they are more than just Destiny, They are the good that the gaming community can do together.

The online events are related to fundraising for St. Jude, and they consist of The Hunt, where the lastest Borderlands game is played to find specific drops and funds raised within the community during this event benefit St Jude. The second events are the Charity Marathon blocks on Twitch and Mixer. These are where the gaming community comes together and streams to the Rare Drop channel and runs a weeklong fundraising blitz for St Jude.
