Houston, TX - Memorial Day Weekend is coming up quickly, and with that a really great way to show our support for the men and women who fight for our country. Gamers Outreach Foundation( http://gamersoutreach.org) has teamed up with The Game Fanatics ( http://thegamefanatics.com) to bring a really fun way for gamers to show our appreciation to our military, who make it possible for us to freely play our games in the first place! The Game Fanatics is supporting the Gamers Outreach Foundation’s military division, fondly referred to as Fun for Our Troops. Money raised through this fundraiser will be allocated towards a portable gaming kiosk that will be donated to the Dallas Veteran's Affairs Medical Center in Dallas, TX. Another way to support our troops this Memorial Day is to donate games and consoles to GOF. GOF provides video game care packages to troops serving in combat zones. GOF is always in need of new and used PC games, video games, and consoles as well as other gaming peripherals from individual donors, communities, and companies. If you know of a troop currently deployed you can register them on the GOF website ( http://gamersoutreach.org/fun-for-our-troops). New and used donations can be sent to the following address:
Fun for Our Troops
