Group 'game' for charity video marathon

Four local gamers, including Blackburn Radio's Max Major, will be calling Lambton Mall home Friday night.

It's the fourth annual Playing for Charity.

Organizer and K 106.3 Morning Show Host Max Major says money raised from the video game marathon will benefit St. Clair Child and Youth.

"We got close to $3,000 last year, we'd like to get over $3,000, that seems to be threshold we've kind of been bottoming out around the last few years," said Major. "Would love to get above, and grow it beyond that."

The group of four will begin the 24-hour marathon at 2 p.m. Friday.

Donations can be made online at www.playingforcharity.com or in person at Lambton Mall.
