So hey, Cozmo...
I've noticed with the upcoming release of Rise of Iron we will have the chance to run tournaments. This is highly interesting to me, as I am the VP of my Extra Life guild, and would like to try using this as a fundraising platform for the charity leading up to and even during the November 5th 24(actually 25) hour gaming event and was wondering who from the bungie staff I would need to contact to see about the possibility for a custom in-game emblem and even shaders that people could get for making a minimal donation to their own or someone else's Extra Life page. I've already had skins and items approved for use by another game through extra life, and am sure this would be just as easy, if not easier,veto accomplish with you guys.
Btw, shameless plug to everyone else who may read this [url=http:\\www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=210970]here[/url] for my donation page. Please don't make too much fun of the lack of funds/donations contained within, as I really am spending about 98% of my time getting events set up, registering other people, and finding every way I can to expand outreach, knowledge and partnerships for the charity and guild, so have had no time to poke people to give money myself.
I've had a lot of misgivings about bringing this stuff to the forums like this, but I recently saw a lot of support for another group doing pretty much the same thing, and am hoping to get even a smidgen of that goodwill and support for the Children's Miracle Network.
Thanks to any who read this and bump it, up vote it to make it trend, or somehow make Cozmo and deej see and read this and maybe help a great cause in the process.
See you out beyond the wall, guardian.

Hey Durandal, great idea about setting up private match tournaments. Love the idea of custom shaders or emblems. Would be awesome if possible to even get a custom emote (but that is a lot more labor intensive for bungie). What i would think would be really cool would be to create some sort of halo or wings for players that are actually gaming for Extra Life. They have done several things like that in the past like the Jack'o'Lantern head. I have been actively involved with the Chicago Guild and Extra Life as a whole for 3 years now so if you need any help or want to rally the community together, I am here and glad to help
