To Team Mario Marathon and everyone who supported and donated,

Thank you all so much for making the Super Mario Marathon a huge success. Not only was almost $10,800 raised (it's still climbing!), but we really got to see how the gaming community pulled together to support the team and make it all possible. We loved the video stream, we loved the chat, we loved the fan art!

The money raised will make a huge impact in the Child's Play partner hospitals. When gamers give back, it makes a difference! Thanks again from all of us at Child's Play.
