[NBLUG/talk] OT: AGDQ 2015 charity gaming marathon for cancer prevention

[Allan Cecil]

OT: As you may know, last year I participated in <http://tasvideos.org/forum/t/14362> a yearly fundraiser for the Prevent Cancer Foundation <http://preventcancer.org/> named Awesome Games Done Quick <http://gamesdonequick.com>, which is a week-long marathon event where video game players play through different games as quickly as possible while ~100k live streaming viewers watch and donate for raffle prizes and incentives.  As cancer claimed the lives of three of my grandparents I am motivated to support the AGDQ charity efforts any way I can.
To that end, I've organized a TASBot block <http://tasvideos.org/forum/t/15787> for AGDQ 2015 <http://gamesdonequick.com> with massive amounts of help from people in the Tool-Assisted Speedrun <http://tasvideos.org> community as well as several fellow co-workers.  AGDQ 2014 <http://tasvideos.org/GamesDoneQuick/AGDQ2014.html> raised more than $1 million in donations and my hope is to raise $25k during our TASBot block alone today sometime after 8:00 PM EST <https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule> (~5 PM PST; the schedule may slip a bit).  You can watch all week at: http://gamesdonequick.com

A number of people from NBLUG helped out with this and I am thankful for their assistance.  Also, I apologize for the uncharacteristically HTMLized E-Mail - I usually write E-Mails in plaintext. :)  Thanks again, all!
