TheSpeedGamers weeklong gaming marathon will add to the $173,000 the gamers have raised to date for ACT Today.
"When many people think of gamers, they tend to think of them as lazy or unproductive," says TheSpeedGamers' founder Britt LaRiviere. "However, this image is just an unfortunate stereotype. TheSpeedGamers are passionate about gaming and committed to helping non-profits like ACT Today! which provide direct help to those in need."
TheSpeedGamers will end their weeklong, 168 hour fundraising campaign for ACT Today! on Monday, July 1st at 6 pm CST. Donations will be accepted on behalf of ACT Today! at www.thespeedgamers.com.
ACT Today! (Autism Care and Treatment Today!) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing resources and funding to families of children with autism who cannot afford or access the necessary tools their children need to reach their full potential.

TheSpeedGamers are based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas, but have members from around the world. The group was founded by Britt LaRiviere in March 2008, and has since raised over $400,000 for non-profit organizations across the country.
