GYG Blog

GYG just finished hosting a family gaming night at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and it was an awesome experience. The kids got to play on several Wii systems for 3 hours, and their parents and siblings were very appreciative of the opportunity to relax and have fun with their kids. We were thrilled that a local newspaper is running an article in Saturday’s edition, and the Phoenix NBC affiliate came to do a story on it as well!

The staff took some great pictures of the event that we’ll be sure to post when we receive them, along with a link to the news story.

If you’re interested in signing up with GYG and would like to take part in our September fund raising event for the hospital, send an e-mail to info@getyourgamez.com and we’ll be happy to send you the promo code. It’s for a great cause!
