Chachi Plays is back for Year Two!
Chachi Says: Chachi Plays
And the money raised by this year’s 24-hour video game playing marathon will benefit two local causes: Toonseum, to start an art program for at-risk youth; and the Father Ryan Art Center in McKees Rocks.
Chachi Plays for Kids will be also be held at the Toonseum (7pm-7pm, Friday, February 10 to Saturday, February 11) in downtown Pittsburgh. The full gaming schedule will be announced soon on the event’s official website. I’m looking forward to being a part of the Twitterers Tetris Tournament (yep, I’m breaking out my O.G. Gameboy for practice… and kinda getting hooked on Dr. Mario again).
In Year One of Chachi Plays for Kids (which donated to the Make Room for Kids fundraiser), Anthony “Chachi” Walker raised $3,007.79 — surpassing his intended goal of $2,400. There’s no reason why he can’t meet-and-beat this year’s goal of $3,000. BUT HE NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT.
Bonus: (besides helping kids, of course) Donate $50 and get on the schedule to play Chachi in a videogame of your choice!
This year’s sponsors of the event include the Toonseum and Sorgatron Media.

This blog is about pursuit: a transplanted Clevelander (me) in a new city (that's you, Pittsburgh!), pursuing the role of a self-employed copywriter, becoming a roller derby badass and somehow merging all my to-do items into one ever-growing Bucket List.
And of MY boyfriend. His blue balls started this mess.
