FAQ

Q: Who are you?
A: We are a group of gamers from Toronto, ON. All of us either are or were students, and consequently have no money. But since "Time is money" apparently, which is something we have a vast quantity of, we have decided to convert our excess time into money and donating all we raise to Child's Play.

Q: What's Child's Play?
A: Child's Play is a registered US charity founded in 2003. They buy toys and games for children's hospitals. They have a network of hospitals across North America and now several overseas. Last year they raised over 1.7 million dollars. Check them out at ChildsPlayCharity.org

Q: What are you doing?
A: We are playing a video game marathon and broadcasting it over the internet. As LoadingReadyRun puts it we are running an "internet telethon". You can watch us live as we play and rip on games. We will be your monkeys up to 30 hours.

Q: How does that raise money?
A: We hope our awesome audience generously donates to Child's Play. Even the change in your couch will go a long way if everyone was to dig around in the cushions! (Sorry, we do not accept stale chips, buttons, or lint as a form of currency.)

Q: How can I help?
A: It'd be lovely if you could donate, but since the team for the most part is generally broke we understand not everyone can donate. But believe it or not just by watching you are helping us out. If you want to go the extra mile tell your friends / family and spread the word via facebook and twitter. If you own a business or organization that would like to sponsor us please email NoPauseFundraiser [at] gmail [dot] com

Q: If I watch, do I have to donate?
A: No. We promise not to send armed thugs to your house to shake you down for donations. We would but do you know how much armed thugs cost these days? We would barely raise anything for the children with all those armed thugs!

Q: How do I watch?
A: On Dec 18th we will stream the marathon live over the internet via uStream. Specific links to our channel will appear closer to the date. Follow our twitter for the most up to date info when we go live!

Q: How do I donate?
A: Click our ChipIn widget on the right side of the page. You'll be directed to paypal where you can use your credit card, debit or e-cheque. We will not be handling cash or any other donations personally.

Q: Do you take a cut?
A: NO! ChipIn is wonderful because even if we wanted to take a dime, we couldn't. All the money goes from our ChipIn directly into Childs Play's account. We never touch any of it.
