This is only the beginning because after Gamers Unite, the National Event for “Gamers Against Violence“ begins. Due to the large outcry of support for the Gamers Against Violence cause we have decided to reschedule the GAV national events to June 16th. This will offer all press, sponsors and gamers interested in helping out more time to plan events and talk to the media about who we are and what our events represent. The official website (www.gamersagainstviolence.us) will be updated by the 12th of May with new information about the June 16th national events.
