Zombies 4 Charities
February 9, 2009
I recently had a conversation with someone that got me thinking.
Last year a few people got together, and organized an event. This event was to play the Legend Of Zelda series, live streamed on the net, for 48 hours, all this to raise money for a charity with a good common interest, playing video games.
The people who were involved weren’t power suits and they weren’t superheroes, just normal, everyday people. People who figured out a way to organize a unique way to bring people together and put smiles on peoples faces. They did not seek compensation at all.
In a few weeks Capcom is going to release Resident Evil 5. In leiu of that, I was thinking that we do the charity gaming marathon, but with Resident Evil games. Just the ‘main’ ones. Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3, Code Veronica X, Resident Evil 4 and ending with The Umbrella Files. We could have this streamed live while having people submit donations via paypal.
First and foremost though, I need other people. Mainly people who can blast through these games. I also need tech people who can help stream and run this whole marathon I need supporters who can spread the word, who can help in anyway (ie food, drinks). I need people who will help make this happen in any shape or form. Keep in mind, this is for charity and there will not be any cash payments. There will be however as much media coverage as myself and other people can get, as well as the satisfaction of knowing that you helped changed a child’s outlook on life.
As for the charity, http://www.childsplaycharity.org/about.php , The amount of work that this charity puts out has never ceased to amaze me. Check the site to get all the info, this is one of the best charities out there. We all know the feeling of how one game, one toy, or one movie can make all the difference in a bad looking situation.
So please look at the website and if you are interested in anyway, please let me know. my email is a.real.horrorshow@gmail.com. You can message me over facebook as well.
I really want to get this off the ground. It means a lot to me.
Thanks
- Kenny.
