These include auctions, game sales, quizzes, golf days, football matches and challenge events from companies including Rocksteady, nDreams, EA, Lucid Games, Barclays and Skillsearch.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Mick Donegan, Founder and CEO of SpecialEffect, said: \u201cWe\u2019re seeing an ever-increasing demand for our services, which are all provided without charge. The support the event receives from the games industry is absolutely vital in making sure we can continue to reach every disabled person that needs our help. Without One Special Day we simply couldn\u2019t bring a better quality of life to so many people across the world, and we\u2019d like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in the event \u2013 industry, gamers and donors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A huge, huge thank you once again to all the companies involved, and we invite you to buy, play and donate on One Special Day and help us keep the magic flowing for gamers with disabilities worldwide!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One Special Day is here!
