Halo 3 + Charity = Everybody Wins!
Here at 8-Bit Brigade, we have participated in a few fund raising efforts for Child’s Play over the past couple of years. These events take place over the holidays, but we are now trying to host and participate in charity events throughout the entire year. We’re always looking for good ways to help those in need and show the world that gamers are, by and large, kind and caring people.
On that note, we recently heard of an upcoming charity event sponsored by Gaming4Others (http://www.gaming4others.org/) to benefit a gamer who goes by the handle of RagingJellyBean and who is in need of a kidney transplant. As you might expect, such an operation requires a lot of money, and the gaming community is coming together to help out.
Gaming4Others is organizing a Halo 3 tournament to raise funds for RJB’s operation and the care she will need afterwards. The entry fee for the tournament is $10, and there will be prizes for the winning teams. For more info on the tournament, please visit http://www.gaming4others.org/ev.htm or http://www.gaming4others.org/public/…hp?topic=144.0. For those who want to contribute but aren’t interested in the tournament, you can donate directly. You can visit the donation page at Gaming4Others, or send payment via Paypal to the 8-Bit Brigade Charity fund (8bitbrigade.charity@gmail.com). We will donate all of the money that we raise directly to Gaming4Others.
This is a great opportunity to play some Halo 3 for an excellent cause or to just make a donation. Every bit helps, so if you can, please consider participating.
Special thanks to bs angel for posting this story on her blog, since that’s how we were alerted to this worthy cause.
