Gamers can take home a Nintendo Wii U deluxe bundle for just $10 by donating to the charity Nick's Marathon.

In addition to standard donations, Nick's Marathon will also be raising money via $10 raffle tickets. The grand prize is a brand new Deluxe Wii U system, $350. The contest may prove to be a good way for gaming fans to get their hands on the console, as pre-orders at many retailers have already sold-out. All of the proceeds from the raffle, and 100% of all donations received, will go directly to charity.
This year, Nick's Marathon will be raising money for Child's Play, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in its network of over 70 hospitals worldwide. Since 2003, Child’s Play has collected millions of dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for kids in children’s hospitals. Nick, ever the video game lover, was gaming in his hospital room until just days before his death.
Nick's Marathon was created in September 2008 by Alan Noah and James Brief, two friends of Nicholas Capobianco who wanted to do something positive, charitable, and fun to honor the memory of their friend.
