ROOTS: Pin-a-Go-Go hereby pays homage to our first leaders Walt, Jerry and Spud who back in 1988 organized "Pinathon" (our predecessor) in Roseville, CA.  We recently found old flyers that indicate 1997, not 1996 (like we previously thought) was the year this show moved to Dixon to be renamed "Pin-a-Go-Go".

Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento

This annual event is put on by pinball enthusiasts from all over Northern California as a benefit for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento. Each year close to $8,000 is raised for this worthwhile cause. Many people bring their pinball machines to share, the organizers and volunteers are not paid to put on the show and everyone benefits!
