Cookie Brigade: Revolutionizing Cookies for an Uncertain Future
If you were looking for information regarding becoming a part of the Cookie Brigade for PAX East 2016 or you're just curious about what we're all about then you're in the right place.
If you're not already registered on the Cookie Brigade website please do so ASAP! Very few organizational details will be shared here for security purposes.
WHO WE ARE:
The Cookie Brigade is a ragtag group of Penny Arcade Forumers who have assembled since PAX 2007 to provide our fellow gamers with delicious baked goods! Cookies are baked by forumers, brought and shipped from afar by forumers, and distributed by forumers!
The Cookie Brigade does not sell cookies. We give cookies away for free.
Brigadiers also accept donations to Child's Play, which are entirely voluntary and greatly appreciated!
And it's very convenient to get a cookie and give a donation at the same time.
Starting in 2007, the Cookie Brigade began a mission to give these cookies in exchange for donations to Child's Play, the charity started by Mike and Jerry that provides entertainment to kids in children's hospitals. Since starting on this mission, the Cookie Brigade has raised over $230,000 mostly by the handing out of cookies and the reception of donations from the incredible, amazing, and generous PAX community! In 2015 alone we raised over $65,000 for Child's Play! Woooooot! Thank you everyone for your generous donations, you have helped an awesome cause!
WHERE CAN I FIND OUT MORE?

Hashtag: #cookiebrigade
I WANT TO HELP IN THE BRIGADE!
If you're interested in
An important note: due to certain external pressures on the Brigade we have to keep some of our more sensitive planning operations private. If you sign up on the Cookie Brigade website you will have access to our public forums but will need to submit and application to through the site to become a brigadier. Thank you for your understanding!

- Keep it PG and family friendly. We love to give cookies out to kids and as such we ask all brigadiers to remain family friendly with their cookies (sorry, no dickerdoodles) and distributing activities!
- Have fun and enjoy PAX!

Any chance of there being kosher for Passover cookies as well?
Freshly baked cookies.
Helping Child's Play.
Will you guys just be walking around or will you have a designated spot?

We'll have people walking around. Usually large lines and tabletop are common places for our distributors to be. If you use Twitter, that's the best way to find out where we are or call us to you www.twitter.com/cookie_brigade
If you need more Kosher cookies, feel free to tap me in. I'm probably gonna make a batch for my own sanity that weekend
If I can't find someone to staff an info table, can you guys be the info table this year? I've never actually attended this event as a player and would like to go have fun instead of working all night. >)-
Sure, but not here. Forums are for forum stuff.
Indeed, I meant during the con probably at games night (again kudos on that). Well aware of the forum rules on that.
Re the post on the person who championed this for us at Westin. Any ideas what to do to thank them?

HAIL HATS !!!!!!!

If only there was a way to request cookies while you are stuck waiting in line....
We're stealthy cookie ninjas.
Looking for Edith Finch Pin!
The first place to find us will be at gamenight in the Westin Thursday night. We'll be at the info table, fulfilling your sugar needs and we might even have some games to raffle off.
Remember, if you're looking for a brigadier this weekend, page us via Twitter. Either mention us (@cookie_brigade) or use the hashtag #cookiebrigade. We'll do our best to watch those all weekend (as Internet and cell signal allow).
You can always tweet them and they will let you know where distributors are.
I also usually only do a few panels so I am not usually standing in one spot for to long. I just remember last year they where all over the hallways near the theatres but so far this year I have not seen a single person with cookies wandering around offering anything to people.
We had people all over, at most panel lines, wandering table top and handheld, visiting the vr lounge, etc. I think this is the pax we've had the most distributors, so it's interesting you still didn't see us. I guess there will always be some people we'll miss.
We had an amazing weekend. We were able to raise $23.4k for child's play! Thank you everyone!
