[GAMBIT-UROPS-summon] Complete Game-Completion Marathon II

[Philip Tan]

Dear GAMBIT and friends of GAMBIT:

 The *Complete Game-Completion Marathon* is BACK! We are running it a bit
later than last years, but we are lining up the event to coincide with
marathon weekend in Boston, *April 15-17th*.

 What is the marathon you ask? It is a charity event run by the GAMBIT game
lab in which participants play mini-marathons of games to various degrees of
"completion". The event is streamed on the internet and donors are
encouraged to contribute to causes as they spectate and witness the madness!

 This year we have added a new donor partner in Accion<http://www.accion.org/>.
They are a great organization, and we will be working closely with local
partners to make this a great event. Supporters will also still be able to
donate to Partners in Health <http://www.pih.org/> for the event.

 So you want to participate eh? Well here are some details about the event:

 *- We are looking for groups of players for the Main Stage! *This year we
are building a Main Stage schedule, where for 48 hours we will have
scheduled mini-marathons that will be streamed online complete with color
