The Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure: Ethermeet 2024 is moving full speed ahead to doing more Good for the American Cancer Society with your help! The event will be on Saturday, Dec. 14 from 7 AM until Sunday, 1 AM CST.
Unfortunately, we were unable to get this submitted in time, but this is a video we made for the American Cancer Society for the event. Please take this opportunity to learn more about our namesake, Jerry Stefek, and how we strive to continue his ethos of Good:

The memorial play-a-thon is in memory of Jerry Stefek: gamer, father, friend and altruist. We tragically lost Jerry to aggressive lymphoma in 2018. Also, Aaron Koelman, DCC superfan, man of iron faith and will, man of supreme kindness and wisdom, who succumbed to his long battle with pancreatic cancer in 2023. And, alas, a friend of our supporters, Matt Bowen, has also been unfairly taken in the last year. We ask for you to help us prevent these tragedies. ALL proceeds from this event, as always, will be donated to further cancer research and patient assistance through the American Cancer Society.
Any donation of $4 or more will be entered in a drawing for great prizes every hour featuring our awesome sponsors! Please visit our sponsor site as it is updated for the latest updates!
AND, there is more goodness to be had – we have two artist contributors who will be using their talents for the cause during the event!
- Brad McDevitt, legendary Goodman Games artist, will be joining us from 11:00 AM CST until 5:00 PM CST working on an original artwork for the event! We’ll have raffle entries for the artwork available for a $5 donation, and we’ll be checking in with Brad to check his progress through the event! He’ll be hosting his art jam from his Facebook account, should anyone want to keep a window open watching his work! Check out Brad’s art at https://www.etsy.com/shop/BradMcDevittArtStore!
- Christopher Tupa will be taking requests for sketches during his game with Insanti Claws at the Final Admission Theater and Half-Price Oyster Bar at 7:30 PM CST! Want to see Shrek with a light saber? Bob the BurgerBarbarian? Make your suggestion, make a donation, and Christopher will get to work! Christopher will post the sketches in his blog at his website after the event for everyone to share at http://www.ctupa.com! (Don’t forget to check his other art on the site while you are there!)
View our list of extraordinary Judges and players gathering for your entertainment, and see the game and raffle schedule (always being updated, but look at that Judges list!) so you are sure to have contributed by the time your “must-have” creator is scheduled in the raffle lists! Your $4 donation also gets you a thank you from us with your Ethermeet 2024 Memorial Token, this year featuring incredible Weird Frontiers artwork – DESIGN FRESHLY CRAFTED! Thank you, Hazel!
Additionally, at 7:30 PM CST, tune in for a little twist of late-night horror nostalgia with your Judge and host, Luau Lou (as Insanti Claws!), and the late night show at 10:30 PM CST with Brian Shutter!
Finally, DONATIONS ARE NOW OPEN! If you’d like to support the cause and you can’t make the event, we’d love to have your support! You can find the instructions and links for donation here! Thank you for your support!
