Jeremy Monken is one of the organizers for GP4CP, a local Boston-area fundraiser for the Penny Arcade-affiliated Child's Play charity, which sends games to children's hospitals all over the world.

He just sent me an email letting me know that GP4CP (the name is awesome!) be hosting it at Microsoft New England Research & Development Center, a.k.a. Microsoft Cambridge. They'll have games, food and drinks and a raffle of games donated from local studios, EA, and Warner Bros Games. The event details are online at www.gp4cp.org, so check it out and support a worthy cause!

When: Saturday, December 19th 6:00pm - 11:00pm

Where: Microsoft NERD Lounge, 11th floor.
One Memorial Drive
Cambridge, MA 02142

Why: To show the Boston area what a positive impact gamers can have and to welcome Penny Arcade Expo to the neighborhood before their first East Coast event in 2010.
