This Year, We're Not Hosting a Gala.
We're Launching the DO GOOD GAMES.
For years, the Fall Harvest Gala has been a cornerstone of FCA's fundraising. But FCA has never been about sitting back and watching impact happen.
We do our best work in the community. Hands-on. Boots-on-the-ground. And it's time our biggest event did the same.
The way Long Islanders want to make a difference has evolved. They want to be in the action, not watching from the sidelines.
Turning Giving Tuesday into Doing Tuesday.
Picture This.
Jerseys on. Energy high. Your team steps onto the arena floor at Nassau Coliseum. The DJ is setting the tone. The leaderboard is live. The crowd is watching. The clock is counting down.
Teams compete in a bracket-style tournament of mission-driven challenges. Every round creates real, tangible impact for Long Island neighbors who need it most.

The Competition Is Just the Beginning.
The DO GOOD GAMES is more than a tournament. It's a full community experience designed to feel like a great night out with real purpose behind it.
🍽️The Tasting Village
Twenty-plus Long Island food and beverage vendors, all night long. Come hungry. Explore between heats. Stay after the Championship. This is a celebration of the same community we're here to strengthen.
🎧Live DJ & Emcee
High energy from the first heat to the final moment. Music, momentum, and live callouts keep the arena moving all night.
🤝The Community Cool-Down
The tournament ends. The night doesn't. After the Championship, the community comes together to celebrate what was built, packed, assembled, and made possible.
Why Sponsor?
Your sponsorship doesn't just look good. It does good.
🏅
Team Engagement: This is not passive sponsorship. Your team gets jerseys, a place on the leaderboard, and a shared experience they'll actually remember.
📣
Brand Visibility: Put your organization in front of Long Island business leaders, community advocates, and supporters on one of the biggest philanthropic days of the year.
🚀
Own Doing Tuesday: FCA is redefining Giving Tuesday on Long Island by turning it into a day of action. Sponsors become part of that story from the beginning.
📊
Tangible Impact: Every dollar raised supports FCA programs serving Long Islanders. Every challenge completed creates visible, measurable outcomes.
📄
Do Good Summary: After the event, sponsors receive real numbers and real outcomes. A clear summary of impact that your team can share internally and externally.
