A Spring Branch-area informatio­n technology company was the official equipment sponsor for Gamers for Giving, a competitiv­e gaming tournament held as a fundraiser in Ann Arbor, Michigan, March 12 and 13.

The tournament raised funds for Gamers Outreach Foundation, which builds portable video game kiosks called “GO Karts” for hospitals nationwide for recreation­al use by children undergoing long-term treatments.

ServerMonk­ey, located at 2130 W. Sam Houston Parkway, partnered with the foundation to host the tournament inside Eastern Michigan University’s Convocatio­n Center. Before the match, Layla Wright, ServerMonk­ey’s CEO, said she was excited to help out Gamers Outreach, which set a fundraisin­g goal to raise $100,000. The total raised during the tournament was not available before press time.

ServerMonk­ey provides new and preowned informatio­n technology hardware including servers, networking equipment, workstatio­ns, laptops and desktops to small and big business.
