With the holiday season upon us, we wanted to share some exciting news from Child’s Play. Due to the incredible amount of support from gamers around the world, we’ve been working on a new initiative to benefit children and their families in domestic violence facilities. Those of you who happened to be at the PAX East 2012 Q&A with Mike and Jerry may remember the original announcement:
It has been a year of broken records for Desert Bus for Hope, the week-long marathon to raise money for the Child’s Play charity by playing the most boring video game ever created.
One Gamer Fund, an initiative committed to supporting AbleGamers, Child’s Play, Games for Change, Global Game Jam, IGDA Foundation, Stack-Up and Take This, is for the third year in a row offering an annual Steam sale and, for the first time, holding a 24-hour livestream benefiting seven of the most significant video game charities.
Giving Tuesday is the national day of charity that takes place after the Thanksgiving weekend. Here are several charities gamers could support on Giving Tuesday.
