Forums - Mario Marathon 5 for Child's Play Charity

I'm sure some of you have heard of this years Mario Marathon event, but just in case you haven't. Mario Marathon is a yearly event where a group of gamers livestreams themselves playing the core Mario games. The goal is to get donations to the Child's Play charity, which purchases toys, books, and video games for the kids in children's hospitals around the world. Over the past five years the event has earned over a quarter of a million dollars for the charity. The event works by assigning every level of the games a amount of money in donations, they will continue to play until they catch up with the donations. So far the event has been underway just under 24 hours and has around 37k in donations. At the current rate the event should run until at least Monday or Tuesday. The site is located here. It's a great cause so donate if you can, and even if you can't simply viewing the event or better yet spreading the word, will help further the efforts of the event.
