Yesterday, Gamers Outreach launched the 3rd Annual VTuber Summer Slam.🥳 For those who don't know, VTuber Summer Slam is a 5-Day streaming marathon where over 1500+ streamers will go live to raise funds for hospitalized kids. 🎮 In terms of scale, this event ranks as one of the largest streaming events in history and the impact these streamers make will be felt for many years to come. 🏆 This year's overarching goal is to fund over 150 GO Karts which represents a fundraising commitment of $525,000. After only a day and a half, I am proud to report that we are over 50% of the way to achieving that goal with $287,000+ raised. 🎉 To check out the streams over the next few days search the #VTuberSS2024 on Twitch or YouTube for channels supporting our cause. As always, thank you to all the fundraisers, community members, and staff who helped make this event a reality. Special shoutout to our event sponsors BisectHosting, HyperX, Cooler Master, Warudo, VTube Studio, and Seattle Built PC. #nonprofit #gaming #livestream #charity

Yesterday, we had the pleasure to join New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner, who donated four portable gaming Go Karts to Children's Hospital of Michigan during NFL Draft week. Sauce, who previously supported Gamers Outreach through My Cause My Cleats, funded the distribution of six Go Karts to three hospitals in 2023. His visit to the hospital included playing video games with patients, bringing immense joy to their day. These heartwarming moments highlight the impact of partnerships like those with Sauce Gardner, Buffalo Wild Wings, and VaynerSports in making positive experiences for hospitalized children a reality.

Over $1.25 million raised this past weekend - a new event record for Gamers Outreach! The funds will help us deliver on hundreds of GO Kart requests we’ve received from hospital partners providing care to families. 🏥👾 We are fortunate to have an amazing team of staff/volunteers who went without comfort and sleep to create a wonderful experience for our attendees and online participants. They are a committed, competent group that make the event possible! Much of our fundraising is driven by online stream broadcasts. It’s a privilege to partner with creators. Their willingness to amplify the mission of Gamers Outreach has made a widespread impact in the lives of kids undergoing treatment. As a founder, it’s a dream to work with mentors and sponsors who share your vision for what the world can be AND show up to help you make it so. Those of you reading this who were present or have been involved through the years know who you are! We are all grateful for your energy and support. 🙏 Thank you to everyone who was part of this record-setting outcome. I’m including a donation link in the comments if you’d like to contribute! 🙌
