BALTIMORE – In an effort to fight against Alzheimer’s, a Westminster resident is hosting an unlikely gaming tournament .
Inside of Tables and Towers , there’s a big mission underway.
J.C. Watts is on the front line. He’s organizing a Warhammer 40,000 tournament.
The reason for this mission— to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s.
“So my grandfather passed away in December 2020 during COVID times,” Watts said. “And I was just, I grew up hanging out at my grandparents house.”
Watts teamed up with the Maryland Alzheimer’s Association to start a fundraiser, combining two things he loves— his grandfather and Warhammer 40,000.
“I just, I got tired of being sad and I wanted to do something,” Watts said.
“The first year he wasn’t quite sure what he was getting into, but he has a well oiled machine now. And it’s just crushing his goal. He’s raised over $22,000,” said Nicole Gorski, the development manager of the Longest Day fundraiser, an effort part of the Alzheimer’s Association.
