Gaming focused charity events and organizations are usually successful due to the nature of gaming communities already transcending the normal barriers of culture and society.

Gasp, shock, an actual story not blaming video games for all of the worlds problems. I can't believe my eyes. Last I checked as far as the media was concerned if you played video games you'd inevitably be a mass shooter.

Quite a few years ago, I remember playing video games with a hospitalize little boy when was on call in the hospital.
I beat him. Everyone else let him win and he was excited to be beaten by "the doctor".
Good memories.
Thank you for what you're doing.
