This holiday season, Cure Cancer’s Game on Cancer initiative is uniting the gaming community to support life-saving cancer research during its annual Holiday Spectacular.
From Tuesday 15 November through to Thursday 15 December, creators can sign up and help support early-career cancer researchers across Australia. Creators need to host a charity stream on their channels and engage their audience to donate. Streamers can go to Tiltify to sign up and get involved with every dollar raised going towards cancer research.
Every fundraiser will also have the chance to become a Game on Cancer MVP and earn exclusive merchandise to celebrate their fundraising efforts. This year, Australian audio producer RØDE and local neon light manufacturer Kings of Neon™ are supporting the campaign with their own incentives.
The first 25 fundraisers to raise $2,000 will receive a $300 Kings of Neon gift card to purchase their own custom neon light for their streaming setup, while the first 25 fundraisers to raise $4,000 will receive a RØDE X Prize Pack valued at $1,146, which includes brand new products such as XDM-100 microphone, XCM-50 microphone, NTH-100 headphones and PSA1+ desk arm.
Over the 30 days, Australia’s creators will fundraise themselves, including ex-Good Games host turned Twitch extraordinaire, Bajo, who will be kicking off the event with his own fundraising stream on November 15. This Holiday Spectacular, the aim is to raise $75,000 which will help fund nine months of cancer research.
To date, Cure Cancer’s Game on Cancer initiative has raised over $650,000 for cancer research, which is enough to fund over six years of cancer research projects.
