In its inaugural year, Be Excellent to Each Other is presenting a charity benefit event for the rest of us – gamers, bikers, gutter punks, hipsters, art geeks, urban crafters, and all other burgeoning philanthropists – at Be Excellent to Each Other 2009, to be held on October 23 at The 501 Club in downtown Minneapolis.

The full proceeds from the event will be evenly distributed between the Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and Child’s Play, a national charitable organization that provides video games and systems for children’s hospitals. “We believe play is crucial to a child’s health because medical settings can be a new, unfamiliar world for children and teens,” says Annie Waters, Senior Annual Giving Officer at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics. “Often through play, a child can relax enough to express feelings or fears about medical experiences. We are grateful to the organizers and supporters of Be Excellent to Each Other for providing these opportunities to encourage children to play while they are with us for care.”
