H2O “Help to Others” youth volunteer program has exciting news! H2O is holding a “Guitar Hero” Video Game Tournament at Lakewood High School and you’re invited. H2O’s “Guitar Hero” tournament is being held on Saturday, March 8th, in the Lakewood High School East Cafeteria from 11am – 1pm.

H2O is a program of the City of Lakewood, Department of Human Services, Division of Youth. The kids in H2O came up with this fundraising idea. We really wanted to do something to benefit the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society.

The requirements to play are simple. A $6.00 entry fee will guarantee you a minimum of two games against an opponent. Every time you win, you’ll move up the tournament bracket. If you get shut out, you’ll be assigned a consolation round with another player at your level. The tournament will use “Guitar Hero II” games on PS2 stations. Players can decide to play on one of these levels: medium, hard, or expert.

Admission to the event is only $1.00 if you want to come and watch this exciting contest. The tournament is open to all Lakewood residents in grades 6-12. Players must pre-register by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, March 7th. Registration forms are available at the following locations: Garfield and Harding school offices, Lakewood High School - H2O Office, Lakewood Division of Youth – 12900 Madison Avenue, and Lakewood Community Recreation and Education Department – 1470 Warren Rd.

Refreshments will be on sale at the event. Cash prizes will be awarded to the winner of each level: $15.00 - medium, $25.00 - hard, $50.00 - expert. So fill out your forms to rock and gather all your friends. We hope to see you Saturday, March 8th at Lakewood High School!
