I've pledged to play games and raise funds for kids at my local children's hospital.
 

How It Works

• Now, more than ever, local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals need our help.

• I'm uniting with thousands of gamers to play games and change kids' health to change the future.

• Donations through this page stay at Riley Children's hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Your donation is tax-deductible and will make miracles happen for families who desperately need them. Simply click the "Donate" button at the top of this page to help. 

Here's why it matters to me

When my oldest child was born, he had to be in the NICU for several days.  Over the course of his first year, he didn't grow the way he was supposed to, and he started to develop a thick patchy rash all over his head.

We saw doctor after doctor and specialist after specialist, but it wasn't until we saw a dermatologist at Riley in Indianapolis (we were living in Lafayette at the time) that we made any progress.  She was the first one to suggest we get him allergy tested, and those tests were the beginning of the end of our problems.  He turned out to be allergic to half a dozen common allergens.  Once we eliminated those, he started growing like a weed and his rash went away. 

Now, he's 15, and he once again started developing a rash.  This time, we went straight to the allergist, and once again he's allergic to several common allergens.   Next month we're off for patch testing to check for allergies to common chemicals.  We're working through it, this time with a different team of doctors, but if it wasn't for our experience at Riley 14 years ago, we wouldn't have known what to do.  So even though they aren't our doctor's this time, we're thankful for what we learned from them.

Our problems aren't life-threatening, but there are lots of other kids out there with problems that are. Whether their problems are serious or not-so-serious, kids deserve great healthcare, optimized for them. Children's Miracle Network helps make that happen, and we're proud to support them.

Here's what we're doing

For the 6th straight year, we'll  be doing our normal yearly 24 hour stream. But we're old, so this year we'll be dividing it in two pieces, over gameday weekend.  We'll be streaming live right here on this page, from 9AM-Midnight on November 2nd and 9AM-6PM on November 3rd.  We'll be continuing our tale of the Traveling Circus in space by playing D&D Spelljammer for most of the weekend, but we'll also be having a surprise game segment first thing Saturday morning, so come check it out!

All your donations are tax deductible and will stay in the local communities where you donate, for us that's here in Indianapolis, Indiana.  

Here's what's in it for you

Besides the great feeling you'll get from helping out kids in our local children's hospital, we're also planning some great incentives and raffles again this year!  We try and work with vendors we know and love to provide some fun prizes.  Prizes this year come from Peculiar Sawdust and Noble Knight Games with a few extra fun things our group will be throwing in.

We'll be giving away prizes throughout the streaming times on Saturday and Sunday.  This year there will be some fun, bonus prizes during our surprise segment first thing Saturday morning, so get your donations in as early as you can to have the most chances of winning!

How to donate

To make a donation, you can either click the big blue button or click one of the 'incentive' buttons that will appear on Saturday, November 2nd.  The only difference is that the incentives will prompt you to leave us your name and mailing address so we can send you a prize if you win one!  If you want to donate more than $100 and still be entered to win a prize..... We Love You!  Just click the big blue button and enter your donation amount. Then pop on the stream chat (above) and tell us that you need to give us your mailing address and we'll get it from you!

New this year!  Super exclusive 'I'm from the Internet' and 'Famous on the Internet' t-shirts.  Supplies are limited, so get them while their hot!  If there's no incentive for your size, it means we're already out, Sorry!

Whether you can donate, or not, please stop by the chat and interact with us.  You can wish us well, ask us questions, or even affect the game.  We love to talk to people via chat, it really helps keep us motivated and reminds us why we're doing this!
