Announcing "No Pause For A Cause"

Hey Everyone,
This is the official blog for the "No Pause for a Cause" charity fundraiser, your source for all the information about what, when, and how we're doing/did.

After years of feeling guilty for being unable to donate to charity because I am a broke student, I remembered the phrase "Time is money" and have decided to put it into practice. So I am pleased to announce the first "No Pause for a Cause" charity fundraiser. All donations will go directly to Child's Play, a charity which buys children's hospitals games and toys. Last year they raised over 1.7 Million Dollars! (That deserved capitalization). Our marathon is inspired by the fine people at LoadingReadyRun and their horribly successful Desert Bus for Hope marathon which raised over $140 000 last year!

If you don't know about gaming marathons here is what we'll be doing; A team of gamers will be taking shifts playing the strangest games we can find for up to 30 hours straight. For your viewing pleasure the event will be streamed live over the Internet, and to keep you entertained we will be providing the best running commentary our sleep deprived brains can provide. Each hour if we reach our goal we will extend the marathon for another hour. Repeating until we reach our time limit of 30 hours OR we fail to reach our donation target. So as long as donations keep coming in, we keep playing.

All you have to do is watch. Our team is composed of the finest minds the university system has produced so we understand what it's like to be broke. We don't expect everyone to donate, but we'd love it if you could. Or at least spread the word so eventually someone will be able to.

Check us out on Facebook, and please come back as more information is posted regularly in the lead up to this year's event.
