<div>We're <strong>Button Mash NI</strong>, an organisation based Northern Ireland focused on running events for the Fighting Game Community in NI and Ireland as a whole. We are located in Belfast, and over the last 6 years we have ran a large number of events, both offline in person and online, for the Irish scene.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have been fortunate to have great support from the FGC over the years, and now is an occasion where we ask for a helping hand. Currently we are able to stay afloat with the money that comes in for our offline events, which pays for the venue and prize money etc, but <em>funds for future games, dlc and equipment are in short supply</em>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Costs for these things are only increasing, and in turn we need some assistance to ensure that we are set to continue the scene as we have over the next few years! This is why we have opened <strong>Button Mash: Mashing with Purpose</strong>, an online fundraiser for the second half of 2025, with the aim to raise money for us to continue supporting the Irish scene.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As part of this, we at Button Mash will be running several online tournaments for the Irish scene between now and the end of 2025! As opposed to our usual prize pools for top 3, donations that come in will work towards this goal. The third of these events will be a <strong>Tekken 8 online tournament</strong>, shortly after the release of Armor King. Make sure to learn more about this Strive tournament and get registered if interested from here: <a href="https://www.start.gg/tournament/bmo-fundraiser-tekken-8-edition" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.start.gg/tournament/bmo-fundraiser-tekken-8-edition" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.start.gg/tournament/bmo-fundraiser-tekken-8-edition</a></a>

<div><strong>We greatly appreciate any donations that can be made for this cause</strong>. If you plan to attend offline or online events in the future for Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Guilty Gear Strive, 2XKO, Marvel Tokon or whatever other fighting games, please consider donating. 100% of the costs raised will go towards the likes of consoles, monitors, games and dlc to make future events in Belfast and elsewhere as good as possible!
