Help us meet our fundraising goal of $35,000 to support programs and operations at Kizuna.

What is Showdown?

Kizuna’s Showdown is a multi-generational afternoon of fun, featuring a huge list of games for the whole family, tons of opportunity drawing prizes, as well as great food and drink. Teams and tables compete with one another for points over the course of the event by winning games, challenges, and feats of will! The table with the most points walks away with enough clout to last until the the next Showdown. Build your team and test your might!

Games and challenges remain a secret until the day of. Past Showdowns have included eating contests, scavenger hunts, trivia and more.
