MefightClub: not just pew-pew!

December 21, 2010 3:22 PM

Affiliated community news: Yesterday, MefightClub ended a two-week donation drive and donated $4155 to Child's Play charity, an organization that collects donations for toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children’s hospitals across North America and the world.

Go Mefights! It's a great cause, so even though our group donation is a done deal, if you have a few extra bucks this holiday season, consider Child's Play, and tell 'em we sent ya!

And if you're baffled by the amount of hospitals to pick from, allow me to plug for Dayton Children's in Dayton, OH; they've been doing well by a friend of mine's diabetic son for quite some time.

Well done, nerds! Very well done indeed. (The current CP haul is over $1.4 MILLION for this year!)

I'll thank you not to refer to this as a "CP haul." But well played all the same.

So much for the first rule of MefightClub... Seriously, though, this is great!

Update: They just bumped us up to Gold-level sponsorship since we were so close to the goal and we're not just some company donating. This puts us in the same category as Google, Ubisoft, Harmonix, and Nintendo! Go MFC!

Thanks to the MeFight Club member who came up with the idea, and to everyone who participated. This is one of the reasons that I don't really game with any other groups these days - MFC is chock full of great people!

Thanks to Matt and MetaFilter too, because without MeFi there would never have been a MeFight Club!
