Believe: NeoGAF Donates $5,600 to Charity

In a gesture of good will, the NeoGAF forum community has donated $5,600 in cash and other goods to the Get-Well Gamers Foundation. The donation was the total amount gathered in the first annual “Contribute to Society” drive, which was inspired by the hilariously infamous words spoken by Microsoft exec Jeff Bell.

“The Contribute to Society charity drive began with the idea of using an event we had earlier in the year, involving a high profile forum member asking someone what his contribution to society was, and channeling some of its exposure into a good cause,” said NeoGAF owner Tyler Malka.

“Jason Kwong, one of our senior staff and Contribute to Society organizer, had seen Ryan Sharpe and Get-Well Gamers in action previously and having been impressed he suggested that we team up for a donation drive. We’re proud to support Get-Well Gamers in their endeavor to bring games to hospitalized children,” added Malka.

“It was a great pleasure to work with Tyler and the NeoGAF community,” said Get-Well Gamers President Ryan Sharpe. “Their generosity will enable the foundation to greatly expand its network as we move into 2008 and we are honored to have been chosen as the inaugural charity in the Contribute to Society series.”

Why not donate to the foundation yourself? Tis the season.
