Kicking off 2025

Yes, I am literally kicking off the new year with a College Football '25 Tournament!

Heroes,

Welcome to 2025, complete with a whole lot of new changes!

Firstly, gamin4aven.org will now go directly to a site where you can find all my old newsletters/posts from the defunct Substack and all future updates. The site runs on Ghost.io, which you might associate with some rather popular newsletters, many of them paid. Rest assured, every subscription here will remain free.

Simply put, I needed a better platform to manage things and this checks all the boxes (including the ability to expand should I ever decide to write again outside Extra Life).

For the donation shortcut, you simply need to add "/donate" and you'll hit my current Extra Life page. If you happen to forget, there's a donation link in the menu of the site too!

As you'll notice from the page, I'm spending January prepping and competing in a College Football '25 tournament. I'm unbelievably pumped that Extra Life has put this together and I can't wait to try my hand at some online play for a good cause.

I highly encourage y'all to start the donations ASAP. After all, I'm wanting to get to $100K all-time raise in a hurry! To sweeten this charity pot, I will match any donations made today (Jan 2) & tomorrow (Jan 3), up to $200, to The New Orleans New Year's Day Tragedy Fund.

Donate the Sugar Bowl score, donate your favorite stat, donate $1--it will all help Change Kids' Health and make a positive impact on an awesome city reeling from a horrendous attack.

Go Irish. Beat Dawgs. Change Kids' Health.
