    Alpha Iota, an academic honors society from Antelope Valley College in Lancaster, California, is hosting an Assassin's Creed marathon to raise money for the Child's Play charity. This is the second year the organization has hosted the fundraising event; it garnered over $1,400 in donations last year.The "Assassins4Kids" group is also auctioning off a number of Assassin's Creed-related merchandise, such as paintings and hoodies, and has already clocked over 40 hours in the Assassin's Creed series. Assassins4Kids is streaming the game (and at night, sleeping) marathon through December 19, which can be found after the break.[Thanks, Roger!]
