We are pleased to welcome back Card Kingdom as a sponsor for Desert Bus 10 this year.

Card Kingdom is owned and operated by brothers John and Damon Morris. In 1999, they opened Card Kingdom in John’s basement, and before long they quit their day jobs to focus full-time on making Card Kingdom the best place on earth to buy Magic cards. Since then Card Kingdom has grown into one of the world’s biggest retailers of Magic: the Gathering, with two brick and mortar locations in the Seattle area.

Card Kingdom has long been dedicated to giving back to communities. Through their Engage program, they donate company funds and employee’s time to give back to those who need support. It is with that mindset that they are a perfect fit for us here at Desert Bus.

We thank Card Kingdom for their continued support of Desert Bus for Hope.

Donate $6.18 or a multiple before 8am! That enters you to win this delicious maccha green tea assortment, including Yabukita, Samidori and Okumidori Flush Blend!
