Hey Everyone,
On Friday, December 10th, myself and a few friends are once again volunteering our time to raise money and awareness for a charitable cause through a 24-hour video game-a-thon. This year we’re supporting the Crisis Text Line. Crisis Text Line is a global not-for-profit organization providing free mental health texting service through confidential crisis intervention via SMS message. The organization's services are available 24 hours a day, every day, throughout the United States, Canada, UK, and Ireland. To find more about their services, please visit their website at https://www.crisistextline.org/. To reach a Crisis Counselor now, text HOME to 741741.
TLDR: here’s how to donate:
1. PLEDGE a dollar amount per hour for one or more players, using this google form. After the 24 hours game-a-thon, we’ll notify you of the total amount and you can submit your donation then (total = pledge * hours played)
OR
2. DONATE NOW to our fundraiser website through Streamlabs Charity
The other details:
HOW ARE WE VOLUNTEERING? By playing video games! We’ll be hosting a livestream 24-hour game-a-thon to raise awareness and money for the Crisis Text Line. You can follow along on Dec 10th by tuning into any twitch stream. We’ll play a variety of games to keep it interesting, and encourage chats and requests!
HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THE CAUSE? By donating, watching, and spreading the word! You can donate at any time for any amount, but the most impactful way to stretch your donation and our efforts is to pledge an amount to support one of the players. Fill out the Google Form for the pledge, we’ll play as hard as we can to maximize the amount and notify you afterwards of how successful we were.
PERKS!! You can earn a nice reward based on your donation! We’re hosting a raffle with prize choices: a $20 gift card of your choice (x3) or a one-night stay at the Hampton Inn at Henrietta NY. There will be 4 winners picked from a drawing after the fundraiser is over. A $20 donation gets you 1 raffle entry, and a $50 donation gets you 3 raffle entries. Also, there will be a $50 gift card reward for the largest donation!
Last year, we were able to raise $1500 for charity, and hoping to top that this year! Be sure to tune into our streams, post in the chats, tell us what you think, and help support the Crisis Text Line!
THANKS!
