I’m so happy to see Gamers United back again this year! The event will be collecting gifts for the Teen Lounge of the Mattel Children’s Hospital of UCLA.

“When I called and found out they had a teen lounge whose gaming equipment was in disrepair and just need an upgrade, I was decided – this was the organization I wanted to fight for this year,” says Chastity Irizarry, founding member. Gamers United will be helping to rejuvenate the teen lounge and pay special attention to the often overlooked ‘tween and teen sector of pediatrics. Amy Bullock, Child Life – Child Development of the hospital stated, “The equipment in our lounge gets a high rate of use and our equipment is donated so we are happy to be able to work with Gamers United for the patients.”

Of course we are in to help and so is Nyko Technologies, Custom Hotel, Mimoco, Pwned, Coin-Op TV, World Cyber Games, NFamous Gamers and the cast of Hellywood.

The event will be at the custom Hotel and to donate bring a game, or game accessory. Games have to be E, E10+ or T, no mature titles here. If you don’t live in the area, please contact me or info@thegamersunited.org to make shipping arrangements. I will gladly help donate anything from our readers!
