Gamer DNA Co-ops with Child's Play for Charity

Child’s Play and gamerDNA are teaming up to raise money for charity this holiday season. Beginning December 2nd, leading game community websites will be prompting members to complete the gamerDNA Decades of Influence Quiz throughout December. The multiple choice quiz helps gamers discover which gaming trends over the last 4 decades have the most influence on their personal gaming style.

Here’s how it works according to the press release.

After completing the quiz, participants will receive a unique virtual badge featuring their quiz results and the name of the community they represent. Using the embeddable codes provided, participants will race to share their badge in as many online locations as possible. The community that shares the most badges will select which Children’s Hospital is to receive a donation of 6 bundles of Nintendo DS systems and games from gamerDNA.”

Child’s Play is a charity begun in 2003 by Penny Arcade creators, Mike “Gabe” Krahulik and Jerry “Tycho” Holkins. All donations go to Children’s Hospitals across the country. Thanks to gamers, Child’s Play has been very successful endeavor.

“Child’s Play has done so much for kids in need, helping to make their lives a little easier and more fun,” said Gene Mauro, VP of Marketing and Business Development at gamerDNA. “We commend all that the organization has accomplished and are happy to contribute to their charity this holiday season with this new contest.”

“Last year was a successful one for Child’s Play, with over 1.3 million dollars in donations from gamers around the globe,” said Kristin Lindsay, Project Coordinator for Child’s Play. “We are excited to have gamerDNA help us raise donations and provide a fun contest and quiz for gamers to participate in along the way.”
