WHY FLAMINGOS?
Here at BHOP (bee-hop), we believe everyone has the profound ability to express themselves in unique ways. Our mascot the flamingo represents the balance between work life and play life, the importance of community and belonging, socializing to let go of stressful situations, coming to terms with changes in your life, and new ideas and options that arise when you immerse yourself in the company of others. BHOP is a safe-haven where many local gamers call home.
