iam8bit Creates Charity Bundle to Aid Button Mash Arcade Bar

Button Mash, an arcade and bar located in Los Angeles’ Echo Park neighborhood, has teamed up with video game collectibles company iam8bit to help raise funds to keep the restaurant alive during the COVID-19 pandemic. Button Mash is a bar fitted up with a room full of arcade machines and games, including pinball and video game cabinets. The restaurant already furloughed most of its 33 employees, but need help raising funds to last through the mass shop closures in California.
