P.S. If you have any questions-I am sure you can ask KilaMOMjaro. ^_^

Gaming4Others is an organization that will coordinate online videogame tournaments to raise funds for charitable organizations. Gaming 4 Others (G4O) demonstrates that many gamers are enthusiastically generous with their time, money, and efforts for worthy causes. G4O combines passion for gaming with charitable action—an ideal way to allow gamers to positively impact some of the problems existing in our global community.

G4O is pleased to announce our first annual tournament to raise money for children at Christmas. The beneficiary of this tourney will be Child’s Play. Child's Play works with hospital staff to set up wish lists full of video games, toys and movies for various Children's Hospitals to make Christmas special for many sick children.

This event will be an Xbox 360 based online tournament with a choice of three different games:

Gears of War

Halo 3

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2

Games will be 4x4 with rules posted at the G4O site. The winning team has the honor of choosing the hospital that will receive the gifts. If you aren’t interested in playing yourself you can also sponsor a team! For more details please click here.and click on EVENTS. Last day to sign up for this tourney is October 27th, 2007 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
