MW2 Gaming Telethon FOR THE KIDS! 12/11/09

What's up, folks?

As if the MW2 Tournament wasn't enough, the grand finale of the 2009 Inner City Dreams charity effort is going to blow you away.

On Friday, December 11th, after the MW2 tournament is won, the founders of Inner City Dreams, Simon D. Ivanoff and Patrick Pryor will set up cameras, start broadcasting on www.stickam.com and begin a career in Modern Warfare 2...and they won't stop playing until they prestige.

That's right, folks. An ordeal that takes most of us 30-40+ hours is going to be accomplished by Simon, Pat and some of their closest friends. Of course, the hope is that the guys will get donations throughout the 30+ hours, sponsoring this journey of no sleep and tons of caffeine.

Another great thing about this telethon is not just that you can watch the ICD guys play for almost two days, but that you, the sponsors, can jump into the game with these guys and be directly involved with helping kids this holiday season!

Inner City Dreams has a goal this year of $2,000! Please jump into the tournament, join the crew during the Telethon, donate a few bucks and most importantly, SPREAD THE WORD!

Modern Warfare 2: Tournament For the Kids! 12/11/09



What's up, folks? We've already had a large amount of cash and prize donations for our first Annual Inner City Dreams fundraiser for the kids, so we figured that it's about time to bring the gaming community directly into the effort.

Not only are we going to show the world that gamers are good folks that want to help out sick kids, but that we're going to do it while competing in one of the year's most controversial video games- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the PlayStation 3. (If we get a high enough demand, we will form an XBOX 360 tournament as well)

All About The "Dreams"

What’s up, folks? Many of you are wondering what the exact details of the donations, prizes, live show and overall the entire Inner City Dreams foundation are. This, right here, is everything that you need to know.

-The Cause-
You can read the post below entitled “What We’re About” by Pat and I to see what motivated us to do this. But the most important thing to know is that Inner City Dreams was created in Chicago to help sick kids in Chicago’s Children’s Hospitals. With the money that we raise this holiday season (The goal is $2,000 by December 18th), We will purchase video game systems, video games, toys, clothes, books, magazines…WHATEVER these kids want or need to pass the time.

-The Donations-
We have available to your right (and on www.tqcast.com) a “donate here” button that will take you directly to our secure PayPal account in which you can donate anywhere from a penny to a few hundred dollars. The moment you donate, not only will your name appear on the front page of this site as a sponsor, but you will be entered into our huge raffle that will happen on a LIVE STREAMING show on Friday, December 18th, in which you can win any of the dozens of prizes that we will have donated from our many sponsors. Also, every person that donates will receive an autographed BMI sticker (www.bmitv.com) by the founders of Inner City Dreams, Patrick Pryor and myself, Simon D. Ivanoff.

-The Future-
Although the focus is on the holiday season of 2009, Patrick and I are going big with Inner City Dreams. Not only will we bring back the holiday fundraiser in 2010 (Hopefully branching out to another city or two), but our biggest ambition is to extend the reach of Inner City Dreams’ helping hand to being a year-round Community-Aiding Charity.

If you grew up in a city that was dirty, gang-infested, crowded and dangerous, then you know what we are talking about when we say that these kids could use our help. A multi-million dollar foundation is not going to reach a tiny community in a small urban area, but rather give money to established organizations and charities. What we are doing is local, personal, and most importantly, we are cutting out the middleman.

Help us spread the word, and if you could afford to get involved in any way possible, it would be much appreciated by not only the kids that we’re helping out, but by Patrick and myself.

Thank you again, and let’s help make some kids’ holidays!

What we are about....

-Pat Preezy-
Me and Simon started a charity for sick kids here in Chicago. Most of them are going through difficult times and need something to take their mind off of things. Our goal is to raise money to buy them things, like PSP's or Nintendo Wii's or Nintendo DSi's....or even toys. We have a few people donating things as well. We are even giving away prizes for people that donate. All of the prizes we hand out we are going to pay for out of our pocket because on our podcast we tell people how to download music, movies, games and the big corporations ain't feeling that. Our goal is to raise $2,000 by the week before Christmas and we're gonna go up there and give all the kids everything. Everyone that gives more than $10 enters a raffle to win prizes like Modern Warfare 2 for whatever system they have. Just do me a big favor and spread the word because I want to make some kids happy this holiday.

-Simon D. Ivanoff-
I agree with Pat one-hundred percent. While we are looking at the bigger picture of what Inner City Dreams can become, Pat and I are also focused on this holiday season, and making it a memorable one for kids in Chicago who unfortunately cannot be at home with their families, but are instead in a local Children's Hospital. This is not only something we are interested in doing because no matter where you are in the world, helping out sick kids is something wonderful to do, but I have a personal attachment to what we are doing. Pat and I were born and raised in the community that we are helping out, so we know families, teachers and friends that still live in the area. I know that all of you would do the same for the communities that you grew up in.
Thank you to everybody that has been supporting us since day one of Inner City Dreams! Just know that you are helping to create something big that these kids will remember for the rest of their lives!
