G-WG: A New Life for Old Games

If your place is anything like our home, also known as Pann’s Playhouse, you’ve had to shove your old game system stuff out of the way to make room for the new games and systems as they come out. Especially at the holiday season, you’re probably already moving aside perfectly good gaming equipment as you’re making way for all that new Xbox 360 goodness. Instead of giving the dust bunnies a nesting ground, I hope you’ll consider donating those things for a worthy cause.

The Get-Well Gamers (http://www.get-well-gamers.org/) foundation, now in its fourth year, accepts donations of used games, game systems and accessories then divvies them up across their growing network of children’s hospitals. As stated on their website, they will even accept items that are inoperable since they can frequently repair them up or patch together a working system together from salvaged parts.

So, free that forgotten Gameboy from your sock drawer and excavate your N64 from the back of the closet. The lint balls and dust bunnies won’t miss them, but they will make a huge difference in the life of a child.
