Valhallan Esports Training and Gold Star Gamers have recently formed a strategic partnership aimed at supporting military children while expanding the youth esports footprint. Valhallan, a leading youth esports franchise, offers a unique combination of video game fun and comprehensive training, coaching, league play, and life skills development. On the other hand, Gold Star Gamers is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a positive and supportive outlet for military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty.
The partnership between Valhallan and Gold Star Gamers will involve hosting community events throughout 2023, with the shared goal of creating more opportunities for the children of fallen soldiers to experience fun and community through gaming. Their first joint event, called Verizon, is scheduled for May 29th in honor of Memorial Day. During this event, volunteers from Verizon will engage in friendly competitions with the kids supported by Gold Star Gamers, fostering a sense of camaraderie and enjoyment.
Luke Zelon, the VP of Partnerships and Media at Valhallan, expressed the organization’s commitment to providing a positive gaming environment for youth.

The partnership between Valhallan and Gold Star Gamers will encompass various initiatives, including joint fundraising efforts, educational programs, training camps, and Valhallan-branded gaming events exclusively tailored to military children supported by Gold Star Gamers. These initiatives aim to provide these children with access to cutting-edge gaming technology, mentorship opportunities, and a supportive community that understands their unique needs.
