GameBlast16 Invites You To Raise Money for Gaming Access Charity SpecialEffect

15/01/2016

Special Effect are organizing the UK's largest gaming marathon weekend (GameBlast16) to help raise money for their work with technology to enhance the quality of life of people with physical disabilities.

Thousands of people want to share your passion for video games, but their disabilities stop them playing any of the titles you're fanatical about. People like Ben, who lost a major part of his life when he lost the ability to play video games because of spinal muscular atrophy. But with our help, he's back in the game. The sponsorship you raise through GameBlast16 can help us change the lives of many more people like Ben by bringing the fun and inclusivity of gaming back into their lives.

Getting involved in Gameblast is simple. You run your own gaming marathon or gaming event (pub quiz, gamer bake, firewalk, dress up/down day, etc) at your own convenience sometime during the weekend of 26-28 February. You can register your fundraising with Special Effect to help them reach the GameBlast target of £150,000.
