The Saved Games Campaign
Billions of dollars in video game sales take place every year in the United States.
Some of the hottest game titles sell multiple millions of copies to kids and
adults alike. While many of these games have lasting replay value, the truth is
that most games are bought, played to completion in a month or two, and then
sit on a shelf or in a pile of other unused games.
These games still have value, and that value can be used to make an impact within
our communities. Are there any games that you or members of your family own that
have not been played in the last month, or even the last year? If so, those games
can be donated to our Saved Games fund rasing campaign. Through this continual
fund raiser we convert donated games into funds that will help needy kids in
our comunities.
Through Saved Games, we sell donated video games via on-line auctions
and apply the money generated from these sales to our fund. Each donation is
tax deductible, which often means money for you, but more important is the fact
that your donation goes directly to helping kids.
To learn more about donatable items that
we are looking for, how to make a donation, or anything else about this
campaign, please visit www.SavedGames.org.
Too often we hear criticism of the impact of video games on the kids who play them.
If you can, please help us show that gamers do care about their community by donating
your unused games and by supporting our auctions.The Saved Games campaign is
a major source of the funding for A Gift for the Future. We appreciate the donations and
efforts of all our supporters.
