I am in hopes that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know that I had a wonderful time spending time with my family. I even was able to do a bit of after Thanksgiving shopping where we found several great deals. There are many families and children that are not as lucky as you and I are. There is a great charity that would love nothing else but to make the Christmas of many families and children happy. The name of this charity is Child's Play Charity and was started by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins the writers of the online comic Penny Arcade. Child's Play is a group of gamers who strive to make the lives of children in hospitals brighter. Last year they were able to raise enough to help 60 children hospitals around the U.S.
The Energizer company sponsor a Rock-A-Thon to help raise money for Child's Play. A Rock-A-Thon is a multi day event where gamers from around the country come together to put on a 4 day rock band concert where every rock song will be played back to back. The Energizer Rock-A-Thon will start tonight at midnight and will run through Monday. For 90 hours the gamers will rock in Houston Texas at the Meridian. Sixteen rock bands in total will rock out to raise money for Child's Play to help make the Christmas of some special children brighter.
