From Matt: At Just Games, we believe in putting community first – not just as a marketing tactic, as some places do, but as a true system of values. You support us, in part, because we support you. As a local business owner, my first priority is to my community, and the United Way of Greater Rochester is an excellent partner in helping care for the basic needs of local Rochester citizens. So if you’re free, and you like saving money for a good cause, or just playing games and getting to know some of the good folks at the United Way, I hope you’ll consider joining us for this very cool event.
