The Gamers Outreach Foundation

[HappyCheeze]

Hello fellow dark modders,

 

I just thought I'd like to tell you guys and gals about an organization I am part of. It's called The Gamers Outreach Foundation. Basically what we do is video game tournaments to raise money for charity. We get to help those in need and disprove negative sterotypes about video gamers. We just had our first big event this past weekend (feb 29th-march 2nd), it was called Gamers For Giving, our goal was to raise $7,500 for our township's local autism society chapter. It was over at Eastern Michigan University and it rocked. We had some gaming celebs, such as Starslay3r, LiL Poison, and Walshy. Although our tourney was xbox 360 gaming (the game was halo 3) there was also MPCON, which is Michigan's largest PC lan party which was going on the day before and was still going, 3 days actually (The halo tourney was saturday, MPCON started friday and lasted through sunday). It was AMAZING, and we had a lot of BAWLS, Lots of pictures coming soon, we were even in the News

Good ol' Eastern eh? I had a brother and sister that went there long ago. I grew up with an Ypsilanti address, but we were actually out of town a ways.

Cool, we hosted it in the EMU ballroom.

They have a cool campus there too, lots of food choices, I go to WCC, and subway gets old really fast.
