UPDATE:  mark has begun his marathon.  PLEASE tune in and make a $1 contribution!  For every $16, we are able to purchase and deliver a new winter coat to a child who has NEVER HAD ONB!  For every $1,000, we can purchase 10 cases of new coats!

There have been many wonderful ways that indivudals and companies have stepped up to raise money for the Coats for Kids Foundation, but this is definitely a first.  Mark Berry, a self-described sketch comic/beer pong player and guest on Leno and other TV sho0ws is going to play a 12-hour marathon of the video game Super Smash Brothers on Nintendo 64.  His goal is to beat the game entirely with every character on every level. Not being a gamer, this sounds like quite a challenge.

 You can follow the game and contribute.  the game will be live at ustream.tv/channel/markberrylive.

 All proceeds are fully tax deductible.and will be acknowledged when individuals make contribution via paypal.
