OAKS, Pa., Jan. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- TooManyGames hosted the charity event, "Gift for Gamers" in partnership with the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center on Dec. 9, 2018. $6,300.00 was raised at the event and 100 percent of the proceeds were donated to Philabundance, Greater Philadelphia's largest hunger relief organization.
"I am always amazed at how people form a community in different ways, such as the gaming community, and not only meet to share their experiences and talents, but to also remember that many people are hungry," said Glenn Bergman, Executive Director at Philabundance. "The funds that are being donated will help to feed people who are hungry in our area and for that we thank the people like Paul and Ryan and all who attended and gave to the Gifts for Gamers."
"Gifts for Gamers" featured a vendor area to buy gifts for gamer family and friends, free play video gaming area, arcades, and photos with Santa. Attendees also had a chance to meet and greet with famous YouTubers such as Angry Video Game Nerd, Vinesauce, and SomeCallMeJohnny.
"We were so proud of the turnout of this event which helps support the surrounding community during the holiday season," said Paul Truitt, owner of TooManyGames. "The event was a fun way for people to learn more about TooManyGames while supporting a great cause."
