Streaming for child's play charity
ExtraSoda here and I'm here to tell you about what the heck the Brontodon-O-Thon is exactly!
Our Mission: complete 12 hours of live Firefall gaming to raise awareness and donations for Child's Play Charity.
Why: Gaming is a special part of childhood. When many of us were young, we enjoyed video games. They kept us occupied on rainy days, and took us on epic adventures when things weren't as good as they could have been, and for some of us they provided a way to relieve the stress of the daily grind-fest (school, work). But not everyone has the benefit of taking out their frustrations on round of halo or by shooting droves of Aranha. This unfortunately is especially true for children who are staying in one of the most stressful and boring environments known to gamer-kind; Hospitals. Child's Play Charity is an organization that seeks to solve this issue by providing hospitals with new games and gaming consoles therefore granting these children a reprieve for the duration of their stays.
As a fellow gamer, and having been in the hospital once myself and watching my siblings experience their own stays in the hospital, I find that I can fully sympathize with Child's Play Charity's mission. Being true to that statement, 100% of the donations gathered through Brontodon-O-Thon will go directly to Child's Play Charity.
