You'll also be entered in to win a large plush Companion Cube from /Portal">Portal!

Your money will go to purchase game stuff like this to give to the Children's home so they can start up a game lending library for the older kids (ages 10-21) that stay there. If you'd ike, you can also order
stuff directly from the Amazon wish list and it will be sent to Gamers Give Back. Just bring a printout of your reciept to Games 'n At on Saturday December 13th to get $5 off your admission!

Oh yeah, and we'll be selling used games that people donate (the Children's Home can only accept new games) so if bring some extra cash to pick up a little something for yourself too!

Last year we raised over $1500 to provide a similar library for the Children's Ho
spital here in Pittsburgh. The games you donated make a difference in the quality of life for these kids while they are dealing with severe illness and a lot of stress. Help us repeat this success this year for the Children's Home!

Games 'n At is great fun for adults AND kids so feel free to bring the whole family.

Please pass this along to all of your friends and family that may be interested in the event.  Together we can make this
a holiday that the kids at the Children's Home won't forget!

PS- Games 'n At will have food available for purchase and is a BYOB facility.
