That's right, folks: we've come to the thrilling climax of the Night Watch Beyblade Rip-Off International.

Tonight's challengers:

• Brett (Wizard Todd)
• Andrew (Stag Antler)
• Jordanynne (Sting Unicorn | Sterling Wolf // "Losing Dogs")

Let 'er rip!

A substantial portion of the funds we raise comes from the delicious and nutritious prizes we give away and auction off, including tonight's extremely spicy Final Fantasy Secret Lairs collection!

We'd like to extend our appreciation to Joseph Overbey and Amy Gregory, who generously donated this collection to us so that we could give it away for money to help kids. Thank you!

Here at Desert Bus for Hope, we really like to put the fine in fine art. That's why we're honoured to have this gorgeous portrait in pastels by artist Nickie V as our next silent auction lot.

If you wish to admire the graceful elegance of Sim idol Bella Goth without even having to turn on your computer, come on over and bid on her! This auction will be open between 6 pm and 12 am PST.

Like last year, we'll be using the Vickrey Auction system to run all of our silent auctions; check out our information post from last year to learn how that works.

Well we made it to the end of the shift. Here is what we did.

We exercised.

We had our coffee

Made enemies

Made friends

And relaxed with Beer O'clock

Until tomorrow. Hit it.

We have new guests joining us today.

First we have Becki Steel

Becki Steel has spent the past 10 years supporting children and families as a Child Life Specialist, using play and preparation to reduce stress and promote coping during hospital visits. As the Child Life Practice Lead at Victoria General Hospital, she continues to champion play as a vital therapeutic tool in pediatric care.

With support from Child’s Play Charity and Desert Bus for Hope, Becki has helped bring technology-based play—such as gaming, VR, and interactive tools—into the hospital to improve comfort and engagement for young patients. Their support also made it possible for Camosun College’s Engineering Department to develop a custom MRI simulator, allowing children to practice for their MRI in advance and significantly reducing the need for sedation.

This year marks Becki’s first visit to Desert Bus for Hope, where she looks forward to sharing how these partnerships help transform the hospital experience for sick and injured children.

Second we have Tina Belcourt

Tina joined the Victoria Hospitals Foundation team in May 2025. A fundraising professional since 2018, Tina is energized by opportunities to bring people together and create positive social impact through philanthropy. She is delighted to be connected to the good work of Child’s Play Charity through a creative project that welcomed a pediatric MRI simulator to the Victoria General Hospital – an innovation that is already helping children learn about and try out a simulated MRI experience before going through the real thing. Thanks to Child’s Play Charity and Desert Bus for Hope, children and their families receive extra care and support throughout their MRI journe
