A group of gentlemen and ladies stationed in Ft. Worth, TX who go by The Speed Gamers do a great thing with videogames. Once every few months, they'll get together for a video game marathon, where they'll play through an entire series of games in a 48 to 72 hour period for donations from viewers. Any donations they receive go to a predetermined charitable cause. They never take a penny for themselves, everything they raise goes to the charity they're gaming for at the time. They're all volunteers.
These fine people have raised $147,503.63 for charity in their two year existence.
This time around, The Speed Gamers are going to try their luck at Mario while raising money for Autism Care & Treatment (ACT Today). In a week long endeavor, they're aiming to play through every single Mario game ever released. Here's their schedule. I'm absolutely inspired by these people, so the least I can do is try to get some attention. If you have any spare time from June 11th to June 18th, I sincerely hope you give your attention to these guys.

http://www.thespeedgamers.com/about/bios - Here are some biographies about each member. They're stationed all around the world, but their 'HQ' is in Ft. Worth, Texas.

Thank you for your time.
