It's a new name, but the same fun and games you've seen from previous years! The Game Show Throwdown is happening from this Saturday, August 5 at Noon Pacific through at least Sunday the 6th at 1 PM. This year, we are playing for Extra Life and the Children's Miracle Network. One difference this year is that participants of the Throwdown are part of a team and if you donate, you can choose which member of the team to support. Each team member has chosen the CMN hospital to represent, e.g. I'm playing for University Hospital Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland. Please donate through a team member because if you donate through the "donate" button in the top right corner of the Extra Life page, it will not count towards our goal. You can find a link to the donation page at
http://homegameenterprizes.com/throwdown/. All of the fun will be streamed through the aforementioned page and at
https://www.twitch.tv/homegameenterprizes.
