Another Gamer Making a Difference in a Time of Need
Another Gamer Making a Difference in a Time of Need
In the online realm of gaming and streaming, people all around the world connect, play, and chat every day. So, with everything happening in the world, to them, there is still a place they can escape and find a bit of normalcy and hope. Some of these gamers, like Twitch Streamer Taterchimp, see it as much more. Rather than a place for people to escape to or socialize safely, Taterchimp took it upon himself to use it as an opportunity… An opportunity to make a difference and help those in need during this worldwide crisis.
A Chance to Make a Difference
On May 1st, Taterchimp set up a 13-hour Charity Stream, to raise money for The University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. Setting his goal at $250, he made a promise to personally donate an additional $100 should the goal be surpassed and donations hit $500. Playing Final Fantasy XIII, he offered his viewing community a fun and exciting blind playthrough with some awesome incentives to go with it! Taking things to another level to ensure there was something for everyone to enjoy, he had donation incentives that let the viewers take control. All donors had the chance to change up the scene to his Pet Cam, pick his game character, mess with the music, or request a story or personal hand drawing to be done live! He even went as far to provide multiple game change incentives for those who may not have been fans of the game or wanted to mix it up and see something new.
He wanted everyone to feel welcome and use it as a chance to bring family and friends together in a fun, but safe way. In Taterchimp’s blog post announcing the stream, he had this to say, “Bring your family, bring your friends, and please bring random stories and jokes to help me keep my sanity.” Encouraging everyone to take part regardless of their ability to donate. In this great time of need, he wanted to support efforts helping save children, but also do his part in helping everyone. As we all know, staying in and staying safe is great, but not the easiest thing for everyone. Finding new ways to pass the time or keeping a routine can definitely be a struggle! That is why Taterchimp wanted this event to be for everyone because while he may have had a dedicated cause for the funds raised, he knew there were more ways to help people than just donating.
At the conclusion of the event, Taterchimp successfully surpassed his donation goal of $250 and currently stands at $365 raised! Even though the event itself has come to a close, you can still donate on Taterchimp’s Twitch Channel, as well as watch the recap on Extra Life. So, for anyone looking to give, it’s not too late to help!
An Extra Hand with Extra Life
Taterchimp may have orchestrated and hosted this event, but he had some support in doing so. The organization Extra Life has been helping gamers make a difference for years. Extra Life unites thousands of gamers around the world to play games in support of their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. They are constantly working with new gamers and you can keep up with them and what’s coming next on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube. Interested in being a part of one yourself? There is no requirement or minimum follower limit needed to bring your fundraising idea to them for help.
We want to give a big THANK YOU to Taterchimp and Extra Life for all of their hard work and selflessness! It is because of individuals and organizations like these, we are able to make such a difference to so many all over the world!

Gamers versus COVID-19 Fortnite Tournament
In times of such uncertainty and worry, it is important to remember we are all in this together! During this worldwide pandemic, many countries are coming to the aid of those in need, despite having issues of their own at home. Whether it be sending equipment, medicine, tests, etc., our world leaders know we are stronger together than apart! Sharing that spirit, on Sunday April 26th, ScrimToWin hosted the Gamers vs Covid-19 Fortnite Tournament and fundraiser on Twitch.tv! Their goal was to bring people together in a safe and enjoyable way, to raise funds for Direct Relief’s Covid-19 fund. But the event turned out to be much more than just a fundraiser! So much so, that Co-Founder, Timothy Tello, had only this to say, “I am just floored at the overall response of the gaming community. Everyone has been so receptive to helping in these hard times. It’s amazing to see community helping community.” With that in mind, it is clear, charity events like this go well beyond simply raising money. They send a clear message to those they support, that they are never alone and never forgotten!Working Together for Everyone’s Benefit
Acting as the host and moderating the Tournament was ScrimToWin. A company that provides players with the ability to battle each other and win prizes in a competitive eSports environment. Taking it upon themselves, they sponsor a number of prizes, so players can win items like gift cards, PC/Gaming Accessories, and a whole lot more! But they were not alone in this venture… Getting involved and collaborating with them were a number of technology/gaming companies including Razer, Logitech G, Streamlabs, and Pledgeling. They also made sure to include a special thanks to Fantasy eSports, Michelle Phan, and Tokyo Time for the parts they played in making the event happen! Between the companies and the gamers, it was an inspiring display of selflessness and true care for others. In fact, when asked his favorite part Matthew Bianchi (ScrimToWin’s Sr. Marketing Manager) summed it up beautifully: “Personally, I can’t say I really have a specific favorite moment, but seeing and experiencing the excitement from the community was the most outstanding thing to me. For one day, the creators, the players, and the brands all came together for this a collective cause, and bridging all these communities together was a special experience I’ll never forget.” The event was more than just a chance to win prizes and gain exposure. Instead, it was an opportunity to give back and support those risking their lives for complete strangers. All proceeds from the fundraiser have been donated to Direct Relief to support the hospitals and medical workers around the globe struggling to acquire the resources they need to combat the COVID-19 virus.Gamers vs Covid-19: Fortnite Tournament and Fundraiser Turnout
ScrimToWin said it best, “GamersVSCovid is an open call for all gamers to aid in the fight against COVID-19.” And aid they did! Together, they raised an incredible $1,020 in an intense 12-hour Fortnite Tournament. Players from all over battled for the top spot and to be one of the top 5 that moved on to the finals. The tournament style was as follows, Qualifiers: Fortnite Arena Solos (2 Matches Per Hour) with Winners selected by placement and the Top 5 Players move on to Finals at the end of the day. For the Finals, they stepped it up a notch making the matches best of 3! Packed with close battles, the tournament was heated from the start! Even Co-Founder, Michael Weiksner, had this to say, “There were so many great moments to choose from but among my favorite has to be watching Reverse2k get bodied by one of the community members. Another has to be the ending of Game 1 of the Finals, it was so exciting!” Now don’t be upset if you missed all the excitement, because both the Qualifiers and Finals were recorded and can be found on ScrimToWin’s Twitch Channel! Seeing the effort and determination of all those involved was truly inspiring and heartwarming, especially to our organization. As a nonprofit, we know it is because of dedicated and passionate people/companies like these, that make what we do possible! Though we ourselves were not involved, we wanted to take the time to showcase the hard work ScrimToWin and the rest of their partners put into making this event a reality! It is safe to say, everyone, especially all those who will benefit directly from their support, are truly grateful!

SonicFanGames Hosts Charity Stream to Support Coronavirus Efforts
As April is halfway past, and the summer is coming up quick, the weather is warming and the sun is shining. Kid’s should be out playing and life should be good! But as we all are aware things will be different this year. With the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping not only the US but the world, it leaves us all worrying and wondering when better days will come. In addition, shutdowns and social distancing requirements are stranding people at home and it seems as if there is nothing we can do to help. Thankfully, the amazing team at Sonic Fan Games HQ (SFGHQ) knows there are ways to help others and socialize all while staying safe! This Saturday April 18th, they will be hosting a special group charity stream event with all funds going towards supporting the Coronavirus relief efforts! In this article, we will go over all the details of the event and provide some helpful information about the virus and what you can do to stay safe!Let’s Meet Sonic Fan Games HQ and the Artists
Sonic Fan Games HQ has been around for years and is one of the largest resources for fan gaming around. Specializing in engines, sprites, music, gameplay, levels, gimmicks, and just about everything else, their community grows by the day! Additionally, every year since 2000, they have hosted the Sonic Amateur Games Expo. An online event for Sonic the Hedgehog fangame developers to chat online and to demonstrate finished and unfinished games they are developing. This year, they are taking their online event in a different direction! In response to the horrific conditions we are facing today, SFGHQ is hosting a live Charity Art Stream on their Youtube Channel with all proceeds going to Direct Relief, an organization established to aid in Coronavirus relief! On Saturday April 18th beginning at 8:30pm Eastern (7:30pm Central and 5:30pm Pacific), 4 artists will be coming together on stream to create custom doodles and drawings based on the requests of all donors! These artists include @kittzuniku, @Clark_Toons, @pics_pixels, and @Cp_Chan. For a small $5 donation any available artist will take your request and complete the drawing right then and there! Taking things a step further, for $15 they will allow you to request which artist you want specifically to bring your imagination to life! The requests do not need to be Sonic related or even gaming related, the only thing they ask is to keep all request appropriate for all audiences!!What is the Coronavirus
Coronavirus, aka COVID-19. We hear the name on every news channel nationwide, but many people still do not know exactly what it is. In short, COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that can spread easily from person to person. Since the first official US case of COVID-19 in January of this year, the number has skyrocketed into the hundreds of thousands! According to the CDC, “COVID-19 is spreading from person to person in parts of the United States. Risk of infection with COVID-19 is higher for people who are close contacts of someone known to have COVID-19, for example healthcare workers, or household members. Other people at higher risk for infection are those who live in or have recently been in an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19.” The most important thing is to watch for symptoms and take measures to protect not only yourself from others but others from you, as some people may never even know they are carrying the virus!What to Look for and How to Stay Safe
The symptoms of COVID-19 can vary in severity from case to case. The most common symptoms are fever, cough, and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, the virus (being a respiratory illness) can lead to more serious complications ranging from pneumonia to multi-organ failure, and is some cases death. But don’t let this scare you, it is important to know the worsts so we can better prepare and protect ourselves! There are a number of things you can do to keep yourself protected and minimize your chances of contracting the virus. Similar to other respiratory illnesses, the CDC recommends the following precautionary steps:- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- If possible, cover your mouth and nose area when in public with a protective cover/mask.
Current Available Treatments
Currently, there are no specific treatments for the Coronavirus. Scientists and Doctors are actively studying and researching different options to find a vaccine. Right now, the best thing medical professionals are doing to help those infected is treating the symptoms. A good number of complications and deaths that have happened are a result of severe symptoms (leading to pneumonia or organ failure) and not from the virus itself. While we all try to stay safe and push through these troubling times, it is important for us all to stay strong and remember that every little bit helps. So do what you can to protect yourself and others and when able support our medical professionals on the front lines and those battling for their lives! By taking part in events like Sonic Fan Games HQ’s upcoming charity stream are the perfect way to keep your distance while still socializing and coming together to make a difference to those in need! We hope everyone is able to tune in and check out the amazing works of art Sonic Fan Games HQ’s 4 artists will be creating! So, remember to mark your calendars for Saturday April 18th at 8:30pm Eastern (7:30pm Central and 5:30pm Pacific) and show your support in our greatest time of need!

BillTheConquerer Takes Over Dreamscape’s Next Charity Stream
While Bill (AKA BillTheConquerer) is not new to the gaming world, he is however new to the world of Twitch. Bill has been streaming on Twitch for about 2 months now, and after only 4 days of streaming he was able to hit affiliate status. Which for those of you who are not as familiar with streaming, affiliate is a program within Twitch that helps streamers to get paid for their work. Bill has worked on 4 different startups in the gaming industry helping people make a career out of doing what they love. Using the skills he learned, he is able to help people better market their streams and turn it into a business that can actually turn them a profit they can support themselves off of.A Long Time Gamer
Bill has been playing video games for years, but he does not consider himself a competitive gamer. He plays mostly for the joy of gaming. Bill says, people do not come to his stream to watch his skills, while he is a good gamer folks often come to socialize with him and ask him various questions about his stream or how to better their own stream. When asked what he enjoys most about streaming Bill says, he really enjoys the social aspect of streaming, and he appreciates the raw honesty of it all. The internet is a place where almost everything is either censored or filtered. It is nice to have a space where people can express emotion and interact with people in real time in a way that is unfiltered and unscripted. This kind of environment really allows you to see who people really are and how they react to situations that may arise.An Effort to Support Dreamscape
This Saturday Bill has graciously offered to partner with us for another charity stream! Bill is looking forward to the charity stream partnership with Dreamscape as it’s a chance to give back to the community that has given him so much. He feels he has been very blessed in his life, and streaming has been such a great opportunity for him, so why not use it to give back! What better way to do so than to raise funds to give a disabled man the tools he needs to regain his independence and freedom. But Bill and the Dreamscape Foundation put their heads together to come up with a way to give back to Bill’s community! All donors will receive a number of thank you prizes and be entered into our raffle drawing for Amazon Gift Cards!

HiveQueen Takes the Throne in Dreamscape Foundation’s Next Charity Stream
HiveQueen Takes the Throne in Dreamscape Foundation’s Next Charity Stream
For Robin (HiveQueen) streaming isn’t just a hobby or a way to pass the time. It became a way to cope and adjust to a new environment. 3 years ago Robin moved from her home in west Canada to South Korea with her husband in search of new opportunities. After finding herself struggling to make friends in her new home, her husband suggested she try streaming. Robin has always enjoyed playing video games, so it seemed like a great way to meet new people with common interests while also doing something she enjoys.The Hard Working Bee
Robin has now been streaming in her spare time for the last 3 years. When Robin is not streaming, she is working at her full-time job as a teacher, or enjoying some quality “me” time. When asked what she enjoys most about streaming, Robin says that over the years her favorite part about streaming has always been getting to meet new people and build relationships with them. Twitch is all about coming together with people from all walks of life to share in their common interests, whether that be gaming or whatever you choose to stream about. Another really great thing about streaming Robin says, is the ability to help and give back.Over the years, my favorite part about streaming has always been getting to meet new people and build relationships with them.Growing up she loved to get involved with charity events in her community, but as she got older she found it increasingly more difficult to find the time to give back. Once she learned about charity streams as a way to give back, she was more than excited to take this opportunity to help. By using the connections, she has made over the years within the streaming community, she has been able to do multiple charity streams and raise not only money but also awareness for some very important causes. One thing that she wants people to know when they are watching her charity streams is that, even if you can’t afford to contribute financially, Robin makes sure everyone knows that their presence is support enough! Just by spreading the word and showing support in any way you can, you are making a difference.

24-Hours of Splucy: Dreamscape’s Next Charity Stream
24-Hours of Splucy: Dreamscape’s Next Charity Stream
Dreamscape Foundation is proud to announce its next upcoming Charity Stream event! Partnering up with us this time around is Twitch Streamer Splucy (AKA Lucy), who will be putting on an incredible 24-hour stream! Complete with prizes and fun incentives, Lucy is ready to not only support those in need, but to do something extra for her community and put on a stream they’ll love. Now before we dive into the event details, let’s take a minute to find out where the Splucy channel began.How Lucy became Splucy
Lucy began her streaming career on Youtube not knowing much, if anything, about what she was doing. After a while, she saw a longtime friend post about Twitch and decided to check it out. After asking her friend about it, he encouraged her to try it and helped answer all her questions. So, she jumped right into it, not know what to expect and the Splucy Twitch Channel was born. Fast forward 8 short months later, Lucy’s channel is booming! So much so, it led her to making the decision of her life. Lucy recently decided to leave her day job to follow her heart and passion and on November 1st became a fulltime Twitch Streamer! Now as a fulltime Streamer, Lucy is looking to kick things up a notch and take her production to the next level. With an active and constantly growing community, she is always changing things up, doing new and exciting streams. For example, being from beautiful Australia, Lucy recently put on a mobile beach day stream with her pup Balto. Whether she is gaming or Just Chatting, Lucy loves interacting with her community and making it a place people feel at home. To her, the social aspect that you can mix with gaming is what makes streaming worth it.Another chance to give back to those in need
While fulltime streaming may be new to Lucy, fundraising and volunteering are anything but. In the past, she has worked with a few organizations to help any way she could. From preparing meals for and playing games/socializing with the elderly to event planning, social media management and photography for a local parish, she has done it all. When asked why she does it, her response was simple, “it’s just a good feeling”. To elaborate, knowing that her actions can help and make a difference to someone in need is reward enough. But her volunteer efforts don’t end there! Last June, she brought her fundraising to Twitch for the first time to raise money for the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Now, Lucy is ready to do it again! This time for the Dreamscape Foundation’s Holiday Giving Campaigns, supporting families and children in need throughout the holiday season. Beginning on Saturday November 30th at 7am EST (8pm AWST), Splucy will be kicking off the 24-hour Charity Stream event! Regardless of what you typically watch on stream, she has a variety of things planned that you’re sure to love. Bouncing back and forth between gaming and Just Chatting, Splucy will be playing an assortment of games ranging from chill and easy going to ones that will have you (and/or her) jumping out of your seat in terror and excitement. Additionally, she won’t be going through it all alone. Throughout the 24 hours Splucy will be joined by other streamers she knows for some group chats and discussions. With a whole lot more planned, it should be an event everyone can enjoy. But what would a Dreamscape Charity Stream be without some amazing gifts and prizes for you to win! All donations will be rewarded with thank you gifts including Dreamscape T-shirts, Steam Keys, Overwatch Sticker sets and Overwatch Heroes Fleece Blankets. But wait… There’s more! Each donation tier also includes entries into our 2 raffle drawings. With the smaller prize being a $50 Amazon gift card and the grand prize of a $100 Amazon gift card! The Holiday/Giving Season has officially begun and we hope you all will tune in this Saturday November 30th to get things started right! We encourage everyone to join and Lucy is especially excited to share this event with her community and all new comers! Regardless of your ability to donate, anyone is welcome and there will be something for everyone to enjoy!

CamWeppTV’s Charity Stream Gives Thanks by Giving Back
CamWeppTV, aka Cameron, first began her twitch journey on a channel called “2girls1twitch” with her friend. After getting to see more of what the twitch community is about, she decided to branch off into her own personal channel now known as CamWeppTV. This new channel was a great outlet for her to express her creativity in a safe and welcoming environment. Through her channel, she has created lifelong friendships within the twitch community that are always there to support her when she needs them.A judgment free zone!
For Cameron twitch is not just a form of entertainment or a hobby to pass the time, it is a lifeline for her. Her channel has been a platform where she is free to be her authentic self, free of judgment. While many streamers showcase their gaming skills, Cameron uses her channel to feature her many talents, from art, singing/raping, comedy, to simply interacting with folks around her. When tuning into her channel, you might see her live streaming a public performance from places like the train station, or possibly witness her creating a canvas masterpiece.Twitch- A platform for giving back
One of the many reason Cameron loves streaming, is the opportunity it provides her to give back to the community. Twitch has been such a big influence in helping her overcome the obstacles in her life, that she feels very fortunate to be able to use her channel to help others in the same way. Using twitch, she has done multiple charity streams to raise money for various causes. One stream she has done that is particularly near and dear to her heart, was for her friend that was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Using her channel, she was able to raise money that went to help paying for her medical bills. If there is one thing Cameron could pass along to other streamers like herself it is that even if you aren’t asked to do a charity stream, if you have the opportunity to do so, reach out and find ways to use your channel for good. There is no better feeling in the world than helping someone in need!Charity Stream Details
Cameron’s charity stream will be on November 24th beginning at 2pm EST in support of aiding Penny Jackson in raising funds to purchase e-sight eyewear technology. Penny had suffered two strokes affecting the optic nerves in each of her eyes. This left her with only peripheral vision in her left eye, weakened vision in the right and high light sensitivity in both. With the help of this corrective e-sight eyewear, Penny will be able to regain not only her vision, but her independence as well. Cameron will be combining this fundraiser with her annual Thanksgiving stream. Some content you can look forward to seeing is cooking, comedy, singing, dancing, live art demos, and more! Like many other charity events we will be giving thank you gifts based on your donation tier, in addition to raffling off a few grand prizes. Prizes will consist of things like amazon gift cards, tee-shirts, headphones, art/creative writing supplies, Tiny Hands, and more! Prizes will vary based on the tier level of donations to the cause. Our goal for this event is to raise $1,000+ for Penny’s new glasses. Any amount you feel comfortable donating is greatly appreciated! Regardless of your ability to donate, we encourage and hope you tune in and enjoy the fun with the rest of this amazing online community on Sunday November 24th at 2PM EST!

ThePhatBandit’s Month-Long Charity Stream Marathon
Erick, also known as ThePhatBandit to his Twitch community, is teaming up with the Dreamscape Foundation for a Charity Stream event like never before. Erick first got into streaming on Twitch through his longtime hobby of gaming. As a regular gamer, he found out about Twitch and started watching other streamers and personalities. After a while, he realized he had the resources to create a channel of his own, so why not? To him, it was more of a way to play games with his friends and connect with a broader community. His only goal was to have fun, make people laugh, and make even more friends.An Open Community that Became Family
ThePhatBandit Twitch Channel is open to everyone looking to have a good time and interact with new people. Whether you are a longtime viewer or just checking it out for the first time, he is quick to invite you to join in and play along with him online. Erick strives just to be himself and network with people around the world he would never have met otherwise. Aside from just playing games, he is very vocal with his community. They talk a lot and consider it like therapy, talking about good days, bad days, whatever, and just hashing things out. When I asked him what he enjoyed most about streaming, he replied, “The comradely and the relationships we built just through our community and other streamers’ communities.” He went on to explain people had tuned in to watch the stream, never knowing them before, and eventually became friends he talks to daily. To Erick, Twitch is a place for people to have fun, play the games they love, and make new friends that’ll last a lifetime.Familiar Territory
Cut from the same cloth, he has been a longtime believer in charity work and helping those in need. So much so, his full-time job is with a nonprofit organization we are proud to call a neighbor here in Naples, FL. The Friends of Foster Children Forever is an organization dedicated to fulfilling the needs of every child who enters or is at-risk of entering the foster care system throughout Collier County. Their primary focus for the children is to help them reach their full potential in life through education and enrichment opportunities, as well as simply enjoying being a kid. One of Erick’s favorite outreach events was when they took a large group of 40+ to a theme park. He remembers the look of pure happiness on each of their faces. Not because it was just another enjoyable day to a group of kids, but he knew for some it was their first time at a theme park and for others, their first time leaving their home town. Erick loves what he does and is excited to be able to combine his passion with his channel as a way to give back and help even more people.The When, What & Why?
Now, as I mentioned, this is a charity stream event like never before for Dreamscape! You may be wondering what is so different this time around? Well, ThePhatBandit has decided to step things up a bit! Rather than streaming for a day or 2, he will be turning this charity stream into a month-long Marathon Event!! Beginning on November 15th and ending on December 15th, Erick will be raising funds to help with our holiday efforts. All proceeds will be used to support various children and families in need throughout the Holiday Season. From adopting families to donating to shelters and foster homes alike. As always, we will be giving thanks to our generous supporters with thank you gifts and entries into our raffle drawings. The awards will be on a tier-based system, ranging from t-shirts and steam keys to Funko Pops and your favorite Call of Duty collectible character figures. Not stopping there, we will send a couple of lucky winners away with our raffle prizes of various Amazon gift cards, with the grand prize being $100! See our prize chart here:
All donations are welcome and beyond appreciated, but are never required! Erick encourages everyone to join in, no matter his or her ability to support. His community is a place for everyone to have fun and join in on the games and conversations. He will be playing various video games, including the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare! Additionally, he will be opening up several discussions around the charity, which we are supporting, and give you his honest thoughts on the matter. As Erick mentioned during his interview, “there is always a way to help out, even if it’s just educating and informing people on a need.” To keep up with Erick and join in his community, we encourage everyone to follow his Twitch Channel, Twitter, Instagram, and to check out his organization, The Friends of Foster Children Forever! « PreviousNext »
