Gamers are uniting this December for Game on Cancer and you can be a part of it
This December, families will turn to celebrate, whether you erect a tree or a menorah, or celebrate something else and Cure Cancer is inviting gamers of all types, digital and table based, to come together to raise money to help fight the disease.
Over the 25 days of festive fundraising, people can tune into livestreams from their favourite creators and donate to be in the running to win exclusive swag and the latest game releases. Streamers can sign up to fundraise and level up their XP to earn exclusive Game On Cancer merch. The aim is to raise $100k to fund vital cancer research.
To date the program has raised over $350,000, which has paid for over 4600 hours of research, which is around two full years of work. Cure Cancer is dedicated entirely to funding early career researchers and to date has provided over 534 research grants to young researchers with ground-breaking innovative ideas, many who have gone on to become leaders in cancer research globally. The $100k target for the Holiday Spectacular will fund an early career researcher for a year.
Game On Cancer’s Holiday Spectacular has already recruited hilarious, gaming community channel, Back Pocket - as ambassadors for the campaign. A few additional folks helping out are:
All the details, including a link to sign up, if you want to stream and help raise money, can be found on the site, link to that is here. But if you don’t want to stream yourself, you can donate, or even just spread the word.
