I’m excited to announce that I’m participating in my very first livestream charity campaign!
Many of you already know that I spend three nights a week livestreaming on my Twitch channel. In fact, in case you missed it, this very website now has an entire page dedicated to those streams, and you can monitor when I’m live on the homepage! It’s pretty cool, they are a lot of fun, and it’s absolutely one of the biggest extensions of my passion for creating things on the web, so naturally, it should be featured pretty prominently here. And now, I’ve decided to take it up a notch and give something back this holiday season!
I’m going to be participating in Twitch’s own Together for Good campaign, presented by Wicked: For Good, this year. My channel specifically will be raising funds for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) beginning now through December 2nd. While I will still humbly accept any support from the community in the form of subscriptions, tips, and bits, I’m asking that you instead donate to this cause that’s very close to my heart. As an animal lover, I believe that we share this world with them, and they deserve to feel safe and loved just like all of us do. The ASPCA works to make that happen for as many neglected, abused, and homeless animals as possible here in the United States. Together, we can hopefully make a difference.
In return, Twitch and Wicked are offering up a bunch of extra perks! I could potentially be featured on the front page of the website, which in turn, helps new viewers and potential donors find us. And those of you who donate or share clips from our charity streams will earn fun things like chat badges, emotes, and more! Plus, you just might see me get forced to try some weird gaming challenges, catch cameos from my kitties, or try an odd-flavored candy cane or two during an 8-hour streaming marathon that I have planned on Black Friday (November 28th)!
If you have no interest in hanging out during our streams but still want to help out, not a problem! You can donate to the campaign fundraiser any time before December 2nd. Also, since I know some folks are already spending a ton of money during the holidays, you can help out simply by hanging out in the stream chat whenever we’re live or sharing and amplifying the campaign page! Since I still have such a “smol” community, my initial goal is to raise $250 for the ASPCA, but if we happen to smash that goal and go above and beyond… Even better!
Hope to see and hear from you all soon. I can’t wait to get started! ❤️
