Online communities can spark meaningful connections — but the most powerful moments often happen when those connections step beyond the screen. That spirit came to life during the Wonderland Wishes Offline Charity Event, a hands-on volunteer experience hosted by AviaGames in partnership with Foster Love, a nonprofit organization committed to supporting children and youth in the foster care system.
Designed as a real-world extension of the Wonderland Wishes campaign, the event will take place on January 16, 2026, at Foster Love’s on-site facility in Brea, California, with space for up to 50 participants. More than a gathering, it represents a bridge between digital engagement and real-life service, bringing together community members, Foster Love students, and Avia Solitaire Clash players for an inspiring day filled with creativity, teamwork, and shared purpose.
Why Bringing Community Offline Matters
Supporting a cause online can be impactful — but showing up in person creates a deeper kind of connection. The Wonderland Wishes Offline Charity Event was built to give players the chance to participate in giving beyond the game, inviting them into an experience where they could create, collaborate, and connect directly with the people they were supporting.
Partnering with Foster Love ensured the volunteer efforts were centered around real needs and meaningful outcomes. Rather than simply observing from a distance, attendees were able to take action in a tangible way, working side by side to build something that would make a difference.
A Joyful, High-Energy Day of Giving
Held at Foster Love’s Brea location, the event welcomed a lively blend of Foster Love students, community players, and both Foster Love and Avia staff members. From the moment participants arrived, the environment felt upbeat and purposeful, filled with conversation, laughter, and the excitement of working toward a shared goal.
Guests moved through a variety of interactive activity stations, each designed to encourage collaboration while producing real gifts for children and youth in foster care.
Hands-On Projects With Immediate Impact
Sweet Cases: Comfort with a Personal Touch
One station focused on assembling Sweet Cases — personalized duffle bags created for children entering foster care. Volunteers decorated panels with bright artwork, uplifting words, and thoughtful details before putting each bag together with essentials such as blankets, teddy bears, hygiene kits, and coloring materials. Every finished case carried a clear message: someone cares and someone showed up.
STEM Boxes: Encouraging Curiosity and Learning
At the STEM Box station, creativity met education. Volunteers decorated boxes, wrote supportive notes, and packed them with hands-on activity kits that promoted learning through exploration. The handwritten messages quickly became one of the most meaningful elements, offering small but powerful encouragement that could stay with recipients long after the event.
Bike Building: Teamwork in Action
One of the most energizing stations involved building bicycles. Small teams worked together to assemble bikes step by step with guidance from Foster Love staff. From tightening parts to checking safety details, every build required patience, teamwork, and plenty of celebration as each bike came together. By the end, rows of completed bicycles stood ready — symbols of mobility, confidence, and shared effort.
Beyond Volunteering: Inspiration for the Future
In addition to service projects, the day included a gaming industry sharing session where AviaGames team members introduced Foster Love scholars to a wide range of career paths within game development. Through stories and insights into art, design, engineering, storytelling, and community roles, the session helped students see how creativity and skill-building can open doors.
The Voices Behind the Mission
Throughout the event, brief interviews captured authentic reactions from scholars, players, nonprofit leaders, and Avia staff. These conversations unfolded naturally during activities, keeping the focus on real experiences rather than staged moments. Participants reflected on the joy of giving back, the meaning of community, and how it felt to turn online connection into real-world impact.
A Meaningful Model for Community Partnerships
The Wonderland Wishes Offline Charity Event demonstrated what can happen when a brand, a nonprofit, and a community come together with intention. Instead of focusing on promotion, the experience centered on showing up, doing the work, and creating something meaningful together.
By transforming digital participation into offline service, AviaGames and Foster Love didn’t just host a volunteer day — they created momentum and lasting impact, proving that when people unite around compassion and action, the results can be personal, powerful, and unforgettable.
