Watch the D&D Team marathon 25 hours of "Hoard of the Dragon Queen"!

GeekGirlCon (http://geekgirlcon.com)'s own Gaming Event Coordinator, Andy Munich (http://germancity.tumblr.com) has been graciously invited to participate in Wizards of the Coast (http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/events/24-hours-dungeons-dragons)’s 24-hour Dungeons & Dragons session during October 25-26, 2014!

Why is this important?

These folks are gathering together to raise money for Seattle Children’s Hospital (http://seattlechildrens.org/). As a part of the Children's Miracle Network of hospitals, SCH treats hundreds of children each year, regardless of their family's ability to pay. Their staff help kids and their families face challenges more harrowing than those found in the deepest dungeon.

Andy set a modest goal as part of a greater team (http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&teamID=15379) effort to raise $25,000 (roughly equivalent to a sack of 20 gold pieces). Andy's part of the adventure begins at the stroke of midnight on the 26th. Dice will be rolled until they put an arrow in his knee! Tune in to watch the mayhem unfold live on the D&D Twitch TV channel (http://www.twitch.tv/wotc_dnd) and cheer him on (or pine for his ultimate destruction).

If you would like to support Andy during this marathon, you can make a safe donation (http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.donate&eventID=520) online today. You’ll be showing your support for heroes, both imagined and very, very real.

Donations go directly to the hospital and they are tax-deductible. ALL proceeds go to help the kids at Seattle Children's Hospital.
