ExtraLives playing second Pokémon marathon for charity

|
Last year, the ExtraLives team had a marathon for Child's Play. This year, on July 2nd, starting at 12:00 EST, the ExtraLives team will be hosting yet another Pokémon Marathon supporting Free the Children.
This year's list of games will include Pokémon Red and Green (lovingly "translated" from it's original Japanese), The Trading Card Game (on the Game Boy), Pokémon Gold and Silver, Hey You Pikachu!, Pokémon Snap, and Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire. There will also be some surprises in the mix as well.
Two teams will battle to see who can complete each game first. The entire marathon will be broadcasted live on USTREAM. On the USTREAM, there will be live chat. Viewers can donate to Free the Children, a non-profit organization founded by Craig Kielburger. This organization helps build schools to educate and free them from poverty.
The ExtraLives' goal is to raise $8,500 to build a school in a place determined by you, the viewers!
As well, there will be a raffle with prizes to be announced. If you donate $20 you have a chance to battle the ExtraLives team live! Please visit, their marathon page for more information.
