ACT-Today has made their way back into the Pepsi Refresh contest for December. This time around they are in the $50,000 category and only need to place in the top 10 to win $50,000. Vote 2 times each day: http://www.refresheverything.com/helpmilitaryautism and Text 104466 to 73774. The $50,000 will go towards helping military children with autism.
We are holding a contest in our forums for voters here.
Friday October 1st starting at 6pm central we will be streaming Halo Reach and playing with all of you guys! What’s cool about us streaming on October 1st is that it kicks off ACT Today’s first month in the $50,000 bracket of the Pepsi Refresh contest. They are dropping down from $250,000 to the $50,000 category to give themselves a better chance to win. In the $250,000 category, only the top 2 won the prize money, in the $50,000 category the top 10 win. With the Halo Reach community stream night we can help them get off to a good start for the month of October. We will offer some voting incentives during the stream to get us to stream Saturday night as well. Chase is already talking crap, so be sure to have your game faces ready.
We chose Halo Reach because of all the hype swirling around it right now and I would guess that it also has the biggest reach (see what I did there?) amongst our community, minus Pokemon. We will also use the streaming opportunity to promote our upcoming Castlevania marathon, Oct 29-31. We are going to try and promote this community event to outsiders of the TSG community so that we can help ensure a successful marathon at the end of the month. We are still working out the charity info, I hope to have that for you guys soon.
As far as game types, rules and all that jazz concerning Halo Reach, I’ll have Chase type up the details and I’ll post them here. Of course, you can catch all the action here on www.TheSpeedGamers.com
ACT Today! has a new PSA out to help inform about what they do and also to help educate about autism (specifically concerning military families). In turn that means I’m helping out by putting this out for everyone to see! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTQEkGYJQjw
You can help too by tweet and/or using other social media to help spread the word. It would be much appreciated.

In a matter of 3 days our community was able to go from 10,000th place to 88th and win $20,000 for ACT Today in the Chase Community Giving contest. We are proud to have such a caring and dedicated community that was able to rally together in such a short span of time. To date the TSG community has raised nearly $225,000 for various causes. We’ve spanned lupus, cancer, autism, diabetes, the environment and now have our sights set on a new cause starting August 20th @6pm cst for our Assassin’s Creed/Prince of Persia marathon.
Thank you from our entire team!
HEY ALL! YOU NEED TO VOTE FOR ACT TODAY! You know, I’m starting to wonder what’s going on here. How can all this daily voting cause ACT Today to SLIP in the rankings? This is goofy. Anyway, remember to remind your friends and family to vote too, ok? AND NOW, FOR NO REASON AT ALL, KAGORON…
Clearly you’ve voted for ACT Today already, right? If not, GET ON IT! And if so, AWESOME! Asking people for help can be a daunting task, and that’s why today I had to draw that Masked Jungle Warrior, Odolwa.
Hey there! Just reminding you all to VOTE VOTE VOTE! C’MON! VOTE FOR ACT TODAY IN THE PEPSI REFRESH PROJECT! Their current standing is 12th place, and I know we can do better than that! Also, get everyone you know to vote! I uploaded this wallpaper to my DeviantArt account and encouraged all viewers to vote, but I can’t single-handedly win this. Let’s do this!
