Game On! Unique fundraiser supports accessible playground at NNDSB school
Land of Lakes Public School in Burk’s Falls wants all gamers to put their thumbs to good use for a great cause. The school is participating in a unique fundraiser to support the purchase of accessible playground items including a wheelchair swing.
Fundraisers like this are an important tool to help support schools’ efforts to acquire additional equipment for its students.
In partnership with the I Have Resolve Foundation and Wawos charity, Land of Lakes is inviting gamers of all ages and abilities to participate in the Gaming for a Cause video game marathon on Dec. 27.
Entrants can play the video game of their choice and will sign up for 6-, 12- or 18-hour marathon gaming sessions. Participants then collect pledges and donations in support of Land of Lakes’ accessible playground equipment. Students can even earn volunteer hours for their gaming time!
Marathon entrants are invited to form teams to help them stay in the game for the long haul and donors who pledge more than $25 are eligible for a tax receipt.
Visit the Wawos Gaming for a Cause website to sign up, donate, and for more information.
