I'm proud to announce that Atari Party volunteers (well, two of us so far;
Andy O'Brien and myself) are participating in "Extra Life" this November!
Extra Life is a 24 hour gaming marathon to support Children's Miracle
Network Hospitals -- a non-profit organization that raises funds and
awareness for 170 children's hospitals across the U.S. and Canada.
(Extra Life started in 2008, and has so far raised $14M!)
Many people play video games during their marathon, though it's not restricted
to that -- in fact, I'm considering spending part of the marathon _writing_
a video game!
Game Day this year is November 5th, although some participants are doing their
marathons on different days, and/or not doing it 24 hours straight. Many
people live-stream their marathon, so you can vicariously enjoy some gaming.
I'm here to briefly ask for three things:
(1) Help spread the word about Team Atari Party! :)
Send your friends & family to the URL below.
(2) Please consider donating to the cause! We're at $30 so far;
I set a modest goal of $500.
(3) Finally, if you'd like to _participate_, consider joining us on
the Atari Party Team!
