Happy Monday, everyone!
June is always one of our favorite months, as it's brimming with festivities both in and out of the ’verse! June is also a time to embrace love, inclusivity, and the beautiful kaleidoscope of colors that define our community, and what better way to celebrate this vibrant diversity than with our annual Show Us Your Colors Celebration? We’re inviting you to express your creativity by baking a cake, making a video, crafting Star Citizen-related tchotchkes, creating digital art, or taking screenshots. Whatever your medium of choice is, make your submission as colorful as possible, and you might even win a Crusader C1 Spirit with the Allegiant paint!
Last weekend, our friends at ATMO Esports teamed up with Avenger Squadron to host AVS Flight for Kids, a charity initiative benefiting SickKids Hospital. The tournament was an astounding showcase of dogfighting skills and a massive success for a worthy cause: Over $26,000 were raised for Gamers Outreach and SickKids!
A big goal of the tournament was to raise money specifically for Gamers Outreach "GO Karts", which are portable video game kiosks built specifically for hospitals. As a bonus, the Atmo and AVS team will have the chance to hand deliver the Karts later this summer to the SickKids Children Hospital in Toronto, Canada.
The Star Citizen community continues to lead the way as one of the most welcoming and supportive groups out there, and we're incredibly proud of the work you have done here. We would also like to shout out the tournament winners:
- 1st Place - Omelette Squadron: Waterpatate, Terada, ChatDuChaos
- 2nd Place - Next Patch: Myre, SpaceCutlet, Gabiz
- 3rd Place - Star Noodles: Tom Beckhauser, Herbizida, LeezieBee

We also had the pleasure of sending the team to Lyon, France, for an epic Bar Citizen event, one of the most recent stops of our Bar Citizen World Tour. Merci Lyon for the incredible hospitality, and for organizing this event, which brought the French-speaking community together again!
June also brings us Alien Week, in honor of First Contact Day, starting this Wednesday! Alongside a plethora of alien-themed content, this weekend, we’re hosting our annual International Bar Citizen Weekend events near all of our studios: Los Angeles, Austin, Montréal, Manchester, and Frankfurt. So join fellow citizens and CIG developers for a weekend of camaraderie, cold beverages, and Star Citizen talk. We can’t wait to hang out with you, and we’ve got plenty of goodies to give away! For details of events near you, check out last week’s Spectrum Announcement.
