It’s time for our 4th annual video game marathon for charity, and this year it’s 3 days of Super Nintendo! We’ll be starting the festivities right here at noon on Friday, December 14, 2012. We’re looking to raise at least $20,000 for the V Foundation for Cancer Research. This is a great cause and rated 4 out of 4 stars by CharityNavigator.com (see more info by clicking here)
The V Foundation has funded more than 450 grants to the brightest physicians and scientists as they pioneer techniques to make breakthroughs in cancer research. By investing in promising people and projects, the Foundation continues to make great strides in unraveling the mysteries of cancer. With your help, we’re excited to be able to help them with their cause.
The marathon itself will involve 60 hours of fun with the Super Nintendo – one of the most popular game systems of all time. But this year, we’re making things more interactive! Beyond chatting with you all live, we’re giving you the chance to help us decide what games to play. Of course, you can do this by donating to the cause. The perks for donating are:
– Any amount: Entry into daily drawings for $20 Wii/Xbox Live/PlayStaion Network cards (winner’s choice!), awesome video game perler art, and Steam codes!
– $50: In addition to the above perk, you will receive an exclusive Clan of the Gray Wolf 128MB MicroSD card! That’s like 91 3.5″ floppy disks!
– $75: In addition to the above perks, you will be able to choose ANY Super Nintendo game for us to play (if we don’t have it, we’ll get it!) Plus, you’ll be entered into a drawing for our yet-to-be-revealed grand prize! Please request your game & when we should play it as a note in the “Dedication” section while donating.
– $100: In addition to the above perks, you will present us with a challenge for your selected game! The challenge must be time based, and be no longer than 20 minutes. (For example: Beat Stage 1-1 in Super Mario World within 10 minutes) If we beat your gamer’s challenge, our friends at VideoGameAuctions.com will donate an extra $25 to the V Foundation!
– $150: In addition to the above perks, you will receive a Super Nintendo game from Roo’s personal library. It may be complete in box. It may even be rare… -ish.
Watch this space for more info and sponsor information. If you’d like to donate and get those game requests in early, please donate via the Razoo box below or visit the fundraising page here - all funds donated go directly to the V Foundation (we handle no money ourselves). Also, if you are a website or organization looking for sponsorship opportunities, we’d love to have you! Please send all inquiries to roo@clanofthegraywolf.com
We’re really looking forward to this year’s drive, and hope you are too! This is a great cause, and we’re going to have a lot of fun raising money for it. See you on December 14th!
