We were excited to introduce a new game into the 2020 event that created tangible impact in Austin. Bag and Bust Relay, one of the most exciting and competitive events brought athletes together in competition to build hygiene kits for the homeless. Our 18 teams created 2,047 kits that were donated to the Austin Resource for the Homeless (ARCH). Combined, Startup and Level Up Games donated a total of 3,613 hygiene kits!
Congratulations to all of our participating teams!
