Legendary pinball designer Barry Oursler is battling cancer, and Modern Pinball NYC is holding a tournament to help raise money for his fight. Here are the details:
Pinball legend Barry Oursler, known for designing classics Gorgar, Space Shuttle, Doctor Who, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Dirty Harry, Junk Yard and more, is seeking donations to raise money for treatment for himself and his wife Donna. In February 2013, Barry was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. The treatments and prescriptions are not covered 100% by insurance, so the bills are piling up. Last July, Donna was diagnosed with kidney failure. As a result, she must receive dialysis 3 times per week.
We’re reaching out to the pinball community and beyond to support this true hero of pinball. Come join us and have a great time playing pinball, meeting new people and competing for prizes and Modern Pinball NYC passes! Complete details below.
Register in-person at Modern Pinball NYC at least 30 minutes before the tournament starts.
$30 gets you into the main tournament plus one free entry for the side tournament. You’ll also get an EXTENDED PLAY PASS to play pinball until you drop (or until we close) even after the tournament ends! Best of all, half of your entry fee will be donated directly to the Oursler’s PLUS the full amount of all side tournament entry fees will be donated.
