LANfest 2018
Crooms LANfest 2018 was held on March 16, 2018 from 9AM – 10PM. 2018 Crooms LANfest was our largest Crooms LANfest to date with 549 attendees. We are also proud to announce that donated $10,300 to the Arnold Palmer Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in our hometown of Orlando, Florida. 2018 saw the addition of the D&D room and Jackbox party game room. This was also the last year we used the name Crooms LANfest! Over the summer, Mr. Donnan started a charity Twitch stream that also raised $526 for the charity.

Ambassadors
As we continually expand our reach across Seminole County, we have increased our advertising efforts outside of Crooms. With this, we have created new positions exclusively for students and teachers at other Seminole County schools. They assist us by being a liaison between us and the student body at their school. They post the reusable Crooms LANfest banner in their cafeteria and the new posters, and pass on our marketing materials to their morning announcements and/or TV production classes. After LANfest is over in March, they remove the old posters from the halls and take down and keep the Crooms LANfest banner safe until it’s time to hang it again in November for the next year’s LANfest. Our Ambassadors are an integral part to constantly expanding our donation potential.
