BUILD-A-THON

We’re excited to announce the start of our fundraiser to support the American Heart Association! This event is hosted across our Discord and social media platforms. We’re running a special Gunpla contest with a charity twist.


Each builder will create a Tiltify donation page to raise funds through their builds. For every $100 raised, you’ll earn an entry into one of our three contests: Basic Build, Intermediate Build, or Expert Build. 


You can enter as many times as you raise $100 increments. As donation milestones are reached, the prizes will get even bigger!


Join us, show off your skills, and help raise money for a great cause!
