About Gamers for Giving | Each year, Gamers Outreach hosts a competitive gaming tournament / LAN party called Gamers for Giving. Our event brings together the gaming community for a common cause: to share our passion as gamers, and support families and children in hospitals around the country. We hope you’ll join us on March 12th & 13th, 2016 at the EMU Convocation Center. Information & registration can be found at www.GamersforGiving.org.
