The Penguins in The Desert Productions team will be holding "The Mystery Marathon" to support Big Brothers Big Sisters St.Catharines - Thorold & District. The event is a third party fundraising effort that is being put together to aid in mentorship programs, future fundraising efforts and making successful matches for children.
This is the groups second video game marathon event. Last November's "The Zelda Marathon" was the very first production put on by Penguins in The Desert Productions. It was incredibly successful and raised nearly $3000.00 for the charity.
The Mystery Marathon will begin on April. 30th at 6 p.m. ET at www.penguinsproductions.com. Once again, the team will be broadcasting the event live from the headquarters of Big Brothers Big Sisters St. Catharines - Thorold & District.
The Mystery Marathon aims to break new ground for video game marathons, by allowing the fans to vote in which games will be played. The team has compiled a list of 50 popular games spanning all the major video game consoles. The top 20 highest voted games will be entered into a lottery, and the team will play which ever games are drawn. The Penguins will do this for 125 hours consecutively.
The team is raising the bar high, and aiming for a $5,000.00 goal. Donations can be made at the time of the event via a "Chipin" widget on their website. For more information contact Penguins in The Desert Productions at penguinsproductions@
