AbleGamers Hosting 12-Hour Mario Kart 8 Marathon for Charity

AbleGamers has announced an upcoming 12-hour Mario Kart 8 marathon to help support the Driving Home Accessibility campaign that will see the company riding around the country to visit gamers that aren't typically able to get out and try the newest video game releases. Fans can watch the 12-hour stream and show their support for the cause by heading over to the AbleGamers Twitch page starting Friday, May 30, 2014 at 11 AM EDT. The event will be sponsored by Evil Controllers and SquidGrip, both of who will be giving away some nice prizes during the stream. Read on to learn more.

“Evil Controllers is proud to support this exciting initiative by our friends at the AbleGamers Charity,” said Adam Coe, founder of Evil Controllers. “This project is a wonderful opportunity to reach and share the joy of video gaming with an infinite number of gamers with disabilities who can’t leave the places they call home.”

AbleGamers is asking people to make teams and play games to help us raise over $200,000 to build a giant van, fill it with accessible technology, and take it around the country to veteran centers, children's hospitals, and long-term living facilities, assessing the needs of individuals with disabilities, and then giving them the technology they need to play games, right on the spot.

“What’s great about Driving Home Accessibility is that once we get the van funded and built, we can continue to drive around the country and reach gamers who can’t come to us for years to come,” said Mark Barlet, Founder and Executive Director of the AbleGamers Charity. “In a few years, who knows? Maybe we’ll build a fleet of vans supported by the power of the gaming community that can reach every hospital across the nation. Then we can truly say no gamer was left behind.”
