Our Story

Originally conceptualized in 2008, Gamers United is an organization bringing the video gaming community and industry together, showcasing the positive aspects of video gaming to the world. Each year we help organizations, such as children's hospitals, in need of support. Gamers United is dedicated to giving back and highlighting the video gamers youthful and giving spirit.

The Impact

Do you remember what it feels like to be sick? Do you remember a time where your had a fever so high you felt as if you were on fire or felt so weak that even just lying in bed made you uncomfortable? This is nothing compared to what some of the children in hospitals are feeling and experiencing every day of their young lives.

This is your chance to make that experience a little bit easier by providing entertainment that can help act as a temporary escape from reality as well as be used for rehabilitation and exercise for recovery.  

We need your to help make this dream a reality but regardless of the outcome of this campaign, we are committed to our cause and will continue to make a positive impact on children and their families through video gaming.

What We Need & What You Get

By taking part in this campaign, you are helping us help children throughout Southern California.  Your contributions will help us purchase new hardware, software, and additional gaming equipment for hospitals, as well as reach out to new beneficiaries who may not have gaming options available for patients.  While some games are designed to entertain and escape reality, we also focus on games that can educate, stimulate, and allow for physical development. Our goal is to reach out and connect with as many hospitals as we can and establish gaming centers within these facilities so children will have a place to escape to outside the confines of their hospital rooms. Additionally, we are aiming to reach beyond Southern California in the upcoming months.

This is a unique campaign because of the varied number of perks available.  Some of the perks exclusive to this campaign include artwork from Andie Tong and Kevin Mellon, in-game art from Game Mechanics, a personalized voicemail recording from True Blood star Janina Gavankar, as well as prize packs from Nyko, Konami, Disney, Sony Online Entertainment and more.

On behalf of Gamers United and our beneficiaries, thank you for your support on this campaign.
