This December, the Gamers United organization is reaching out to the Mattel Children’s Hospital of UCLA.
The mission of Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA, an essential component of UCLA Health System, is to provide treatment for children in a compassionate atmosphere, and, as a teaching hospital, to conduct research that improves the understanding and treatment of pediatric diseases. In addition to providing medical services, Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA is involved in grassroots legislation for children's issues. Our goal is to raise donations for the Mattel Children’s Hospital.
We will be hosting the event and inviting celebrity gamers, industry executives, members of the press and more to enjoy a night of socializing and philanthropy. The event will have all the things gamers love, contests, tournaments, video games and of course, other gamers. The high-end social will go to further garner the positive reputation we are helping to build for gamers to the rest of the world.

Gamers United emerged in 2007 after what seemed to be a never-ending barrage of attacks from the press about the evils of gaming. A group of gamers decided to pool the resources of their various organizations to come together and highlight the positive of gaming to the media. From there, the philanthropy took on a life of its own and has grown into an organization dedicated to giving back and highlighting all the best in video gaming and its gamers. Whether donating to a children's hospital or coordinating speaking engagements at schools, we believe there is always a way to give back.
