ARG 4th Annual BCA Challenge

Attachment 103419





It is that time again! The 4th annual BCA Challenge. The challenge is simply to NOT wear any of fancy vanity items or gear except for pink ones. I see a lot of players showing off their dragon gear so they are perfect candidates. Remember participation is not mandatory. It is simply us showing support for those who have been affected.

The event to runs from 10/1-10/20. This is due to the Halloween Event that STG holds. We don't want to overlap and run into people having to choose between the BCA or Halloween event.

You can wear any pink vanity like the Bunny/Rabbit Ears, Flower Bouquet or Pink Cowgirl Hat. Please do not spam the devs to participate by asking them to give away platinum or vanities from the store. STG has already made it possible for people to get a FREE pink antenna vanity using promo code "Awareness".

Now comes the important info:

Every year we take a step closer to finding a cure but the numbers are still not moving in the right direction. You will see that yes even males , though rare, can get it and it has nothing to do with sexual orientation. This year the National Cancer Institute says:

Estimated new cases and deaths from breast cancer in the United States in 2014:

New cases: 232,670 (female); 2,360 (male)
Deaths: 40,000 (female); 430 (male)

I have several family and friends that have been affected by this and I am proud to host this event yearly in their honor. The NFL does something like this every year for their "A Crucial Catch" campaign http://www.nfl.com/pink. They have the players wear pink gloves, hats, cleats, and other items instead of their regular colored ones which are then sold at auction. The money is then given to fund research. Join us and show your support. Hope to see you in game! :D

I don't like the antenna i don't want to look like an ant or alien same year round, Pink ribbon shield seems more nicer and more recognized symbol.
Oh well, people awareness and participation in breast cancer awareness event is more important and i will wear anything pink to show my support.

my friend fought breast cancer with all her will but she died :) the important thing is to believe .

Bump. This needs to stay at the top of the forums.

I'm so sorry to hear. She is in a better place now at least :)


Fighting cancer is a very noble thing. In one of the VMAs or something of that sort, a person got up to speak about cancer and it was very touching and emotional.

He said that if you can't fight it, let someone else fight it for you.

Also, he said that I can never bottle up all of the upset inside their heart and sometimes, I just call my mom and start bawling for hours on end. Quite a remarkable this man.



FOUND THE ARTICLE :)
