0119_001_UncommonWizards of the Coast has been very good to us this year at Desert Bus with their Uncut Sheet offerings. This Uncut Foil Ixalan Uncommon Sheet is your opportunity to get your hands on a piece of MtG merch that is not available for purchase. These sheets can only be gotten from special events like Desert Bus, or won at Magic Grand Prix’s.

Any donations of $10.68 or multiples thereof until 3:30 PM PST will enter you for a chance to win this sheet of power. The only choice you’ll have to make is if you want to cut the out for use in your standard deck. (WE ADVISE NOT DOING THIS AND FRAMING THIS!)

CAHPlease join us in welcoming Cards Against Humanity as a sponsor for Desert Bus 2017.

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. Unlike most of the party games you’ve played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.  This year CAH is donating a full set of their cards to Desert Bus! Fun!!

Thank you, Cards Against Humanity, for your contribution and continued support of Desert Bus for Hope!

Food Sponsor: Six Mile Pub

sixmilepubWe here at Desert Bus would like to take a moment to recognize one of our very generous food and drink sponsors, Six Mile Pub.  As most of your know, a lot of the Desert Bus crew are stuck here for many MANY hours during the run and, as as it turns out, we need food and drink to survive (who knew, right?).  We couldn’t make it through this event without the generous support of sponsors willing to provide us with the sustenance and energy we need!

Located at 494 Old Island Highway, Six Mile Pub and Eatery continues to be the “Living Room” and the “Dining Room” of the community, the Six Mile Pub has her reputation firmly rooted in the quality of her products and services.

This year, they have generously donated a large platter of fruits and veggies for the crew!

Thank you, Six MIle, for your wonderful donation to the Desert Bus crew!
