Operation Supply Drop, an organization that provides games to U.S. troops serving abroad, has kicked off its 8-Bit Salute mega game marathon this weekend.
“Since we started, Operation Supply Drop has used gaming as a catalyst to provide support for over 7,000 individual US and NATO troops through four major programs,” the organization said. “Going into our 5th year, we are determined to set a new high score with $1,337,000 for this event, and with your help, we can absolutely do it!”
You can participate by either streaming your own gaming marathon or donating here.
If you raise or donate the following amounts, you’ll also get rewards:

Last year, Operation Supply Drop came under a denial of service (DDoS) attack during the 8-Bit Salute marathon, taking its site offline for several hours. Thankfully, this year everything is going smoothly so far.
