GFG 2025 is underway!

When is Gamers For Giving 2025? To quote one of the most famous and invisible professional wrestlers in history, "THE TIME IS NOW!"

Gamers For Giving 2025 is LIVE! Streamers across the internet are broadcasting content for a great cause, and the Gamers Outreach crew and over 500 members of the community are back in the GameAbove Center at Eastern Michigan University for the GFG 2025 LAN Party.

What is GFG?

GFG is our biggest event and fundraiser of the year and we also treat it like our annual kickoff, celebrating the foundation's mission of bringing the "power of play" to hospitalized children as well as sharing our plans for the year ahead. With that, it's also an opportunity to return to our roots and look back and appreciate our history. GFG started near Ann Arbor and was born from an interest in hosting video game tournaments. We held our very first LAN party in 2008, and every year since, everybody involved with the organization has looked forward to the event.

LAN parties represent a core part of the video game experience. They're a gathering place for gamers to show off their hardware, compete in tournaments, and build their communities. Gamers Outreach was founded as a result of the growth of GFG, and it brings us great joy to see the event continually evolve.

Today, GFG is much more than just a LAN party, fundraiser, and our annual kickoff. Thanks to the annual GFG Streamathon, this weekend is a celebration of and for gamers that do good.
