DONATE GAMES, SAVE LIVES-ONE GAME A TIME


The holiday season may be coming to an end, but you don’t have to stop giving… or giving back! This season you can donate used video games to help save lives. I’m sure most of you have noticed your kids’ (or husbands’) video games piling up, or maybe you children have outgrown certain games. Donate Games is asking families to wrap up their old video games for a good cause.

Donate Games is a non-profit organization that was founded upon the belief that people can change the world by simply donating their unwanted video games. All proceeds collected from the sales of the used video games go to helping children and their families along with raising awareness for rare and neglected disorders, or "orphan diseases," afflicting millions of young people across the globe. This is the perfect opportunity to get your children together and teach them about giving back.
Every used video game needs a new home once it is no longer wanted. Committed to saving lives, one video game at a time, Donate Games has found a way to let people make a profound impact on the world amid the holiday hustle and bustle.

You can easily mail your used video games to Donate Games, for more info:

Or purchase used video games via the charity's online store:

Or if you do not have any games to donate, but you would still like to do something, you can simply make a contribution by going to their website as well:

In addition to raising funds for research on the diseases, the organization promotes awareness information and provides advisory services to the
general public. Game donations, game purchases and volunteer
opportunities are all processed via www.DonateGames.org

"Our user-friendly model takes charitable giving to a whole
new level of fun and interactivity, presenting families with
a unique way to extend their holiday generosity," said Jim
Carol, CEO and founder of Donate Games, who founded the
charity after his own son and video game enthusiast, Taylor
Carol, survived an orphan disease. "We've streamlined the
process of raising rare disease support for hurting children
who need our attention-and deserve our kindness during this
season of giving. Donate Games, save lives. It's that easy."
