It's really important to have something you can do in your life to relax, what it is doesn't really matter, for a lot of people that activity is very games, it allows them to be the person they want to be, it allows them to be free of stress or worry for some time. Not everyone has the ability to play video games, through one reason or another.

Special Effect work with people to give them the setup they need to have access to an activity that allows them to play a game, to escape their reality and visit a number of worlds, or be a sports star or do whatever they want.

I raise money for Special Effect because everyone should have that in their life.
