FORQ Fundraiser #1: Build Lego Mario!

The Friends of Rusty Quarters are embarking on their first fundraising effort to help the expansion of Rusty Quarters and its game selection by constructing the world’s most famous plumber, brick by brick! 

We are looking for classic gaming enthusiasts and small business supporters to sponsor one (or more) of the 1,287 Lego bricks it will take to create a 3-foot 2D representation of Mario.  The money raised isn’t just for the cost of building Mario, however.  It more importantly going to be used to help purchase additional cabinets and other equipment needed for Rusty Quarters (both in the current location and also in their future location when their lease is up in late 2014) to continue to be the most amazing classic arcade in the Twin Cities!

A $1 donation will sponsor a brick, and we are hoping that by the end of this campaign, after PayPal and Indiegogo expenses are accounted for we are hoping to not only present a really fun art piece to the owners of Rusty Quarters to hang on their walls, but $1,000 set aside to purchase arcade cabinets that we can all enjoy.  Would you like to see The Simpsons Arcade, Mortal Kombat, or Mr. Do come to Rusty Quarters?  In donating to this campaign, we hope to make that a reality!
