Charity football event kicks off

MCV Staff 13th February 2012 Business News

A new industry five-a-side football tournament is set to raise over 2,000 for GamesAid.

Organised by London creative agency SJS, the event will kick off on Tuesday, March 27th at Lucozade’s Power League at Wembley. SJS is hoping to attract around eight to 12 teams in a bid to raise over 2,000 for the industry charity.

You can enter a squad of eight players for 250.

We’ve already had a really positive response from our industry friends,” said SJS director Rachel Norman. We are confident we can meet, if not exceed, our target for GamesAid and make this an annual event.

"Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing the boys in their shorts.”

GamesAid distributes funds to charities which specialise in helping the young and disadvantaged.

Those interested in taking part in the tournament can email rachel@sjslondon.com or call SJS on 020 7421 9400.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
