Video Gaming For Charity

What is Student Esports?

Similar to other traditional school sports, the Student Esport Leagues provides students with a fun, competitive and team building experience for all those participating and spectating.

Through Video Gaming for Charity students will get the opportunity to participate in competitive video gaming tournaments. 

The more school members that join in the league, the better the chance of that school bringing home a team trophy and winning donation money for their school gaming clubs and STEM Program.

Who are we?

The IGL Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to bring people together to learn, compete and play.

We leverage the popularity of the video game industry through hosting tournament Fundraising events, which in turn we are able to provide a low cost exciting Digital Arts curriculum that revolves around the core learning programs included in STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math.

Over the years we have hosted dozens of STEM Programs and gaming events at local New Orleans schools.  These events showcase educational seminars, local businesses, animation and video workshops, gaming tournaments and much more.  The goal is to be both fun and educational, while at the same time better preparing students to be a part of today’s technology-driven workforce economy.

New Orleans Bowl

On December 15th, leading up to the New Orleans Bowl, we will  be hosting a youth video gaming tournament featuring chances to win both Scholarships and prizes.

The main event of the day will be Fortnite with a $1,000 scholarship awarded to the top player.

Students must be in good standing, determined by their respective school, to receive scholarship and prizes.

This event will be the lead-in to a series of Youth Gaming tournaments we will have in the spring, and next school we will be starting our first official school leagues.

Give Back Program

We want to give back to the school!

For the school with the most student entries we will sponsor and host our program with you throughout the spring semester at no charge.
