Game companies compete with each other furiously, so it’s sometimes news to see them come together. That’s the mission behind ​Gamers for CHOC​, a coalition of employees from gaming-related companies.

They have banded together to support Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) in Southern California. The group’s mission is to rally the gaming community together to raise funds for CHOC as part of a year-long 30th-anniversary celebration of its annual 5K CHOC Walk fundraiser (this year transformed into Virtual CHOC Walk).
