Gamers Give Back
The Pittsburgh Chapter of the International Game Developer’s Association (PIGDA) and CyberConxion invite you to attend: Gamers Give Back, a charity video game tournament and auction that benefits Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. We want to make staying at Children’s Hospital a lot more fun and we need your help.

In addition to a game tournament and collecting new games, we will be accepting donations of used games and consoles for an on-site charity yard sale. For donating a new or used game or console your name will be entered to win the grand prize. The more you donate the better your chances are.
