How Many Snowballs Will It Take?
Roblox likes to partner up with other franchises, so it’s not a surprise to hear that they’re teaming up with iD Tech to throw a giant snowball fight as a winter event. What might be surprising is that this winter wonderland experience will be benefitting the Lindsey Vonn Foundation, which provides scholarships and educational programming to kids. In other words, this isn’t just an excuse to have fun online while we’re all stuck indoors and away from IRL holiday celebrations–it’s a chance to do all of that while also supporting children’s futures. Now that’s magical! You can sign up for free or upgrade to a Premium or VIP ticket. A $10 VIP ticket will provide players with exclusive extras in-game and a complimentary iD Tech Online Private Lesson, which is taught 1-on-1 by an experienced iD Certified Instructor (that’s a $75 value). A $15 Premium ticket will get you a $10 discount off an Online Private Lesson lesson.
“Kids ages 7-19 can sign up to spread holiday cheer,” the Press Release says, “which includes everyone’s favorites like gingerbread houses, hot cocoa, and even the largest virtual snowball fight ever to break the record of 8,500 participants, kicking off on December 26, 2020 from 1-2pm PT. With night-time drives through a festively lit-up neighborhood and gifts to collect, this winter wonderland has everything needed for a merry time. There will be nightly fireworks, with a grand finale show at midnight across time zones globally on December 31 to ring in 2021.”
Lindsey Vonn, the most decorated Alpine ski racer of all time and founder of the Lindsey Vonn Foundation, had this to say: “This donation couldn’t have come at a better time, as the holiday season is a crucial time of year to give back. Everyone deserves to have those precious moments we remember forever during the holiday season, and that couldn’t ring more true this year with so many families in need.”
The event begins on December 16, 2020 and will continue until January 3, 2021. To RSVP for the holiday event of the season, head over to https://learn.idtech.com/holiday/.
