Hi, I thought I would reach out to fellow Chicagoland members with this charitible event.

The founders of VGEvo.com are participating in a 24-hour marathon called Extra Life at Galloping Ghost arcade! Please join us to help raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. VGEvo proper is playing for Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago and trying to raise $1,000. You can donate directly to the cause here: https://www.hospitalshelpingkids.org/ExtraLife/m.aspx?i=18096F9+11D78D578 The entire VGEvo Team is trying to raise over $12,000.

These guys have a huge arcade -- the best I've seen in years, with tons of classics, just about all of the KOF games, Mortal Kombats, Street Fighters (even a custom Super Street Fighter IV cabinet with 42" screen and arcade controls!), driving, light gun games and more...currently 160 games and counting! By the time we have the event, there will be even more ready to play!

We can't do this alone—Please come out and game with us to raise money for Children's Memorial in Chicago. Hope to see you there! If you can't make it out to the arcade, please consider making a donation anyway. The Children's Miracle Network changes lives every day. Thanks!
