Speedgamers Zelda Marathon: early start

[Lornkeit]

Details: http://community.thespeedgamers.com/...t=9576&start=0

We have the opportunity to raise $250,000 for ACT Today through the Pepsi Refresh project. With our community we can easily achieve this goal if we use all of our resources. Starting tonight at midnight we will need everybody to vote each and every day. You are allowed one vote per day. The contest runs from July 1st-August 1.

In order to keep the votes coming in and to be a constant reminder of the contest, we will be putting on a Summer Zelda Blowout, streaming the Zelda series each night starting tonight at Midnight cst. The rest of the schedule will be revealed soon. We will most likely be starting around 5 cst each day (we will work with community members who already have marathons planned).

They're playing Legend of Zelda currently. Stream is at http://www.thespeedgamers.com/

More video game marathons for charity is cool with me. Was looking forward to a future Zelda marathon, and now I get it much earlier than I thought.

How will the 250K be Used?
$250,000 ----$5,000 grants for more than 50,000 families

Am I reading it wrong or does that mean they plan on giving Five Thousand dollars to Fifty Thousand families, which would be $250,000,000 total?

Today's stream is going up now, first day that you can put a vote in for them. Hopefully they'll make a very quick run to the top spot.
