I wanted to take a moment to talk about an awesome organization called Gamers Outreach. They help kids in children hospitals by providing go karts(TV’s and Gaming systems). This organization ran by Zach Wigal. Has provided hundred go karts to many hospitals nation wide. What I want to say in this post is that this year like every other year, they have a huge event in Michigan called Gamers For Giving, on April 28th and 29th. It is being held at Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center. This is a two day event where thousands of big name streamers and small streamers get together and stream for a good cause. It is always a good thing, playing games for a really good cause. I will be participating this year! I will be posting the link below to the registration for those who want to sign up and participate. Below are the pricing:
