GAMERS FOR GIVING 2026 HAS BEGUN

Are you ready for Gamers For Giving 2026? IT DOESN’T MATTER if you’re ready! Because Gamers For Giving 2026 is LIVE and if you aren’t ready, you’ll be ready.

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 2026 LAN Party.

What is GFG?

GFG is our biggest event and fundraiser of the year and also serves as Gamers Outreach’s 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.

Gamers For Giving is also the best opportunity for us to return to our roots, look back, and appreciate our history. The event started near Ann Arbor and was born from an interest in hosting video game tournaments. Our very first LAN party was hosted here 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 and thrive with amazing people and their endless support of everything we do.

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 care about the people around them.
