Valve founder Gabe Newell was the 2012 ESA Champion Honoree, for the company's Steam for Schools initiative. The organization also outlined a partnership with Children's Miracle Network and Extra Life.
"Nite to Unite's success is due to the video game industry's generosity, leadership and commitment to children," said organization president and CEO Michael Gallagher, in the announcement "Our industry once again came together to support programs and initiatives that equip America's young adults with the skills they need for academic and workforce success."
