What is Fund the Charity Room?
Fund the Charity Room, also known as FTCR, began in 2016. It isn’t a non-profit, nor is it any time of official organization. In truth, it’s just a handful of gamers who are looking to have fun and do some good along the way. “Fund the Charity Room is a joint venture between a few different YouTube channels, including [Find the Computer Room]. We’ve done a series of charity events off-and-on where we play video games with a theme to raise money for a specific charity,” explains Gareth Spriggs, one of the organizers and streamers going head-to-head in this month’s Sonic Zeroes event. Yet don’t let their laidback personas fool you. FTCR has accomplished a lot over the last 2 years. With the help of what is now approximately 20 different volunteers, they’ve raised thousands of dollars for several different causes and charities, including:- Dreamscape Foundation
- International Rescue Committee
- Donations to Puerto Rico Disaster Relief Efforts
- Amazon Wishlist
- Fight for Emily (a fundraiser to raise money for a young girl’s cancer treatment)
