LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, CHILDREN OF ALL AGES,
Giant Bomb Community Endurance Runs, Incorporated proudly brings to you;
The event which has raised thousands of dollars for children's hospitals and sleep apnea research;
The event which has given you Vampires, Charles Barkley, Tommy Versetti, Zork, and so much more;
The event that was built around YOU, the Giant Bomb Community;
WE BRING YOU GIANT BOMB COMMUNITY ENDURANCE RUN GOES FOURTH.
This time around we've decided to work with Pencils of Promise, a non-profit which works with communities in developing countries around the world to build schools and change lives. Thanks to their policy of funding administrative work through gala events, one hundred percent of funds donated to Pencils of Promise go into building schools, training teachers, and improving sanitation.
We are collecting funds once again through Fundly, the flexible fundraising platform which allows us to collect money for organizations that do not get the massive exposure of groups like Child's Play.
Last April we raised over $2,500 for the American Sleep Apnea Association. This time around we plan on doing one better...
We aim to raise no less than $3000. That's enough to educate twelve children for an entire year, or to train six new teachers, or to fund participation in the WASH program for thirty children.
We're also doing another thing a bit differently this time. GBCERG4 kicks off on 14 November at 1200 GMT/0400 PST! That's right, we're timing this thing for the Eurozone! You Old World Bombers better be on point for this thing, or so help us, we will never let you have anything again.
(j/k you're all lovely people)
And now, in the words of Minnesota's finest son...

*$60 is relative based on the prize of new games in markets outside of the United States, so this is somewhat flexible. It does not, however, include any limited edition or value added editions of new games.
