Gamers Outreach Foundation Preps Next Event

April 8, 2010

The charity non-profit organization Gamers Outreach Foundation will hold its next fundraising event at the Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor, Michigan on May 1.

This is the third annual installment of the event—called Gamers for Giving—and will feature videogame competitions, including a 2 vs 2 Halo 3 tournament and a 4 vs 4 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 tournament, along with free play gaming areas, game industry special guests, raffles and the ability to take on a pro-gamer. The event will run from 10:00 AM through 9:00 PM.

Proceeds from the event will be used to continue the Gamers Outreach Foundation’s funding of portable videogame kiosks used by patients at the Mott Children’s Hospital, and to back the group’s Fun For Our Troops initiative, which sends videogame care packages to U.S. soldiers stationed overseas.  The Gamers Out Reach Foundation hopes to raise $30,000 in total this year.

Those wishing to participate in the gaming tournaments should register on the event’s webpage.

Peshi006: I will go with because it's so awesome. Learning curve is quite high. Think I have 75 hours or so in it. Just got a text from my buddy explaining max potions from monster carves.05/21/2013 - 11:18am
Andrew Eisen: Because it's so awesome or because you dumped hundreds of dollars into a game you don't like?05/21/2013 - 11:11am
Peshi006: Speaking of the Wii U, shout box comments about MH3U led me to acquire a Wii U and 3DS. Wish I knew about Monster Hunter before...05/21/2013 - 11:05am
Papa Midnight: Had to google around for a bit: Nintendo Land was the title. Specifically, "Luigi's Ghost Mansion". A friend brought it to a collective game night. I think that was one of the longest played games on the night as it was downright enjoyed by everyone.05/21/2013 - 11:00am
Papa Midnight: I must admit, I played a few games on the Wii U that were well designed for it and usage with the controller and found the experience rather enjoyable. I cannot recall the title, but it was a party-type game.05/21/2013 - 10:58am
Andrew Eisen: The fact that it's totally awesome?!05/21/2013 - 10:55am
