If you're not already giving games to GamesAid, perhaps you could to this, like Meridian4 has.
Montreal, Quebec, Canada – December 17, 2009 – Meridian4 ( http://www.meridian4.com) celebrates the season by making a donation to DonateGames ( http://www.donategames.org) and encourages other publishers to do the same, especially during this time of year.
“This Meridian4 donation represents what we know to be true, gamers are good. Video games new and used are being recycled to help others. Gamers are also great communicators and users of technology. This donation is important, gamers are telling each other about our work, and as the word spreads, the video game community and video game playing families with rare, neglected diseases are contacting DonateGames with stories of the joy and inspiration from knowing the gaming community, like Meridians4 are helping spread the word, generate relief funds and create global awareness for the rare and neglected disease community." said Jim Carol of DonateGames.
“We discovered DonateGames at a game convention and after reading their literature, we thought it was a great idea and a one we wanted to get behind. The three directors at Meridian4 all have children and we know how devastating it would be if they were afflicted with a debilitating or fatal disease. This is a terrific idea and we hope that other gaming companies and gamers will get involved.” said Steve Milburn, Director at Meridian4.
