Fundraiser
HeatSync Labs is a nonprofit hackerspace. Our objective is to empower engineers, artists, and inventors to push the limits of technology beyond its intended use. Raspberry Pi Retro Gaming Night is a fundraising event to help us continue teaching the next generation of mad scientists and avant-garde creators.
We have a number of fun ways to support the organization during Retro Gaming Night. You can buy raffle tickets for a chance to win retro gaming and media center themed prizes. You can make direct donations. You can buy refreshments at the snack stand. And you can even sign up to become a paying member, which gives you additional benefits from all the tools and classes we offer.
HeatSync Labs is one of the nonprofit treasures of The Valley of The Sun. We've launched independent startups that have become growing businesses and given entrepreneurs and artists the ability to explore their dreams. Join us for Retro Gaming Night, have fun meeting some other gamers, and chip in to support a great cause!
