about us.

Game For The Cause is an Austin-based gaming convention whose proceeds are entirely donated to SAFE. SAFE works with the Austin, TX community to end sexual and domestic violence.

Molly and Tom Wright founded GFTC in 2013, after some inspiration from Give to Game. Why do we support SAFE?
SAFE works with the Central Texas community to end sexual assault and exploitation, domestic violence, and child abuse.

  • SAFE houses approximately 300 people a night through multiple residential programs.
  • In 2018, SAFE provided over 600 forensic exams in the aftermath of a sexual assault.
  • In 2018, SAFE answered 19,520 contacts related to domestic violence, sexual assault or exploitation, or child abuse on their 24/7 SAFEline.
As gamers, let’s come together and have fun at a convention, while simultaneously helping abused families find safety, security, and peace.
