Founded in 2008, Gamers for Giving is a streaming marathon and LAN party that helps raise funds for Gamers Outreach. Activities from the event support Gamers Outreach charity programs, which focus on providing entertainment to hospitalized kids. Through the years, the video game community has helped raise millions of dollars, enabling more than four million gaming experiences each year for families receiving care. You can read more about our impact in last year's annual report.
