"Penguins" team to host "The Zelda Marathon" in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters

Oct. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- The Penguins in The Desert Productions team will be holding "The Zelda 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.

The event will begin Friday, Nov. 27th at 6 p.m. ET at www.thezeldamarathon.com. The Penguins Productions team will be playing 7 Zelda games for 24 hours a day. The marathon will not conclude until all 7 games have been completed.

The team will be broadcasting the event live from the headquarters of Big Brothers Big Sisters St. Catharines - Thorold & District. The Zelda Marathon will also be inviting "Little Brothers" and "Littler SIsters" from the mentorship programs to play Zelda for a few hours each day. This will add a new dimension to the marathon event which will prove to separate itself from previous efforts.

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.
