The only things we're killing are imaginary monsters!
That's right, in the fantasy football game Blood Bowl, players (called "coaches") can have their miniatures (called "players") take a spiky football and run it into an opponent's end zone, scoring a touchdown. But the game encourages you to maim and slaighter along the way!
Every time Andrew (a.k.a. Spanky_100) causes a Casualty or a Death, he will contribute $2 at the end of the year to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. And the only ones who get killed are imaginary Orcs, Wights, Vampires, Dark Elves, Skeletons, Trolls, Rat Ogres, and the myriad other denizens that haunt the Blood Bowl pitch.
He began his quest at Khornemas Bowl IV in mid-December, 2025 and he will continue tallying his Casualties and Deaths until Khornemas Bowl V in mid-December of 2026.
Thanks to Runki_Khrum!
While down in Montreal at the Card Brawlers Rookie Mayhem tournament, I received a generous donation from Colin. Many thanks, my friend! You are now one of my Ultra supporters.
Card Brawlers Rookie Mayhem
While down in Montreal at the Card Brawlers Rookie Mayhem tournament, I managed 11 more Casualties, which means I will donate $22 MORE to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. This brings my total donation up to 141 Casualties or Kills, meaning the running total for my year-end contribution is currently sitting at $282!
Year of the (Dead) 'Fling
So, I just mentioned above about my performance at Rookie Mayhem, well, do you know the best thing about it? The guy who gave me the idea of doing this year-long casualty/killing spree in support of CHEO, Taxal (Dan Chaput), decided to contribute to my cause yet again!
So, his decision to do a Year of the 'Fling and play nothing but Halflings gave me my idea. Well, Dan was at Rookie Mayhem and decided to do a reverse contribution! He declared he would contribute $2 for EVERY CASUALTY or KILL HE SUFFERED! And being Halflings, he suffered a LOT of casualties over three games! His team took 17 Casualties or Kills, meaning he will donate $34 to Killing for Kids!
Thank you Dan.
And that's another tournament in the books!
Thrunk Memorial Brick VII
I already told you about how the 19th annual Deathbowl tournament (Oct 24–25) has decided to support Killing for Kids. Well, this week I got news that another tournament will also contribute!
I’m excited to announce Canada's largest one-day Blood Bowl tournament, the Brick, will encourage all registrants to support Killing for Kids. The Tournament Organizer (NotThePornGuy) will allow registrants to pre-declare a minimum number of Casualties or Kills they intend to inflict on their opponents on behalf of Killing for Kids and add the donation into the payment of their registration fee.
This makes it SUPER EASY to support Killing for Kids! Just add a few dollars to the money transfer you were going to do anyways.
So let's make the Thrunk Memorial Brick VII on August 15 in Vankleek Hill the the biggest, bloodiest, and most impactful one yet.
See you there!

WHERE I'M AT
How It Got Started :
Blame Runbad
Adam Hawkins (aka Runbad) streams Blood Bowl on Twitch. In late autumn of 2025, he did an awesome 24-hour straight fundraiser for the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). It inspired me Adam Hawkins (aka Runbad) streams Blood Bowl on Twitch. In late autumn of 2025, he did an awesome 24-hour straight fundraiser for the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). It inspired me to do a year of fundraising. I will donate $2 to CHEO between Khornemas Bowl IV of December 2025 and Khornemas Bowl V of December 2026 for every Casualty or Kill I inflict upon my opponents' players.
MATCH MY DONATION
As noted above, I'm doing this because Runbad started what I think is a noble fundraising effort. Well, there's nothing stopping you from doing something similar! Make a commitment to match my fundraising efforts and we'll multiply the power of my Killing for Kids. If you feel uncomfortable with an open-ended commitment, then put a ceiling on your support. Join the noble folk below and support Killing for Kids.
If you agree to match my donation, you'll get onto my team!
Taxal, who helped me come up with my idea for this fundraising campaign by declaring he'd do a Year of the 'Fling and play nothing but Halflings, has earned his slot as a Teammate because he agreed to do a reverse Killing for Kids at the Card Brawlers Rookie Mayhem on May 17 in Montreal. Because he was playing Halflings (like he will at EVERY tournament this year), he declared he'd contribute $2 for every Casaulty or Kill that he SUFFERED! Thank you Dan!
