May 2022: Global Accessibility Awareness Day Charity Stream Marathon!
Global Accessibility Awareness Day is a global event that provides visibility on digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities. This started from a very small celebration, with 16 in-person events worldwide in 2012, and bloomed to more than 200 annual events each year. Born out of the belief that every user, including people with disabilities, deserves a first-rate digital experience on the web. That belief made more people think and learn about digital access and inclusion.
Dreamscape Foundation believes in making today’s world more accessible for people with all types of disabilities. We focus on visual impairments because it is the heart of our mission as part of how Dreamscape foundation originally was founded. In line with this celebration, we have gathered a few streamers to Join us and raise $1500 to help improve accessibility for disabled people.
Making The World Accessible For All
The majority of people are not aware that millions of Americans and many more across the globe are affected to live with some form of severe disability. In reality, one out of five Americans is experiencing struggles of surviving with a disability. Our goal through this event is to raise awareness, funds, and actions for the improvement of these people’s lives.
As a charity for people with disabilities, we fight to restore the independence of the individuals we help. We believe that they should never be a prisoner of their impairments.
Gathering Around A Great Cause
We appreciate everyone who will join us at this event, especially the streamers who responded to our call for help as a part of giving back to Dreamscape’s disabled community. Our Global Accessibility Awareness Day event will be full of fun from different communities all around the globe. Let us all gather and unite to raise $1,500 for Dreamscape Foundation!
According to Twitch Streamer MechromancerGaige, accessibility means making it possible for people to have access to things they need and that make their life easier/better. Either it being money for a surgery they really need or receiving prosthetics to make them walk again for example.
Join us (starting this Friday, for a week straight) on Twitch and Tilitfy! If you have anything to give, please consider how much of an impact you can make on someone’s livelihood. Depending on how much you donate, you will be eligible to win a variety of prizes. From redeemable Steam keys to Dreamscape branded T-Shirts, Magnets & Drawstring Backpacks. If you are unable to lend anything, just know that Sharing the Dream is all that counts!

Stream Team Knights Of The Order raises funds for Disability Awareness
We at Dreamscape know a thing or two about Charity Streaming. It’s an enormous task for an individual to raise funds all while maintaining an entertaining persona for hours on end. Dreamscape is happy to announce our collaboration with, not only one streamer, but a group from a recently created Stream Team! They’re called The Knights Of The Order, and at the helm of the ship is Twitch Partner TheOrderOfDylan. We sat down and got to know Dylan, and we’re excited to share his story.
A Pandemic Metamorphosis
As the pandemic began, many of us have been working at home now under lots of different circumstances. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dylan started as a moderator and video editor for Twitch Partner / Solar Stream CEO Lowco. At the moment, our streamer friend is taking on new, exciting projects. Some of which include streaming and creating a stream team!
As Told By Dylan
Dylan started his Twitch journey as AsToldByDylan (a reference to the Nickelodeon show As Told By Ginger). But when he settled into Star Wars content, Dylan opted to change his name to reflect the name of his community: The Order of Dylan!
His channel specializes in carefree gameplay with a highly interactive, engaging chat. The content he provides includes talks about life, food, Marvel, and everything in between, all while playing games with all of his viewers. He also takes viewers on IRL stream adventures to Disney World every now and then.
Surpassing The Odds
Dylan’s father suffered from complete renal failure and was told he may not make it past dialysis. Four years later, he received a kidney transplant and has lived a healthy life ever since. His story, and the story of other achievers, motivate Dylan to push past the difficult challenges in life and persevere.
Dylan believes everyone, regardless of circumstance, deserves the opportunity to be successful and have the tools they need to succeed. Dylan added, “I lived with a visually impaired friend in college who struggled to find the right equipment to get through many of his digital technology classes. An organization like Dreamscape spoke to me personally and is a cause I couldn’t wait to get behind.”
Knights Of The Order Event Details
Our campaign will begin with TheOrderOfDylan on December 11, 2021, at 12:00 pm, followed by _, _ and _. They will be playing Knockout City, a fun, fast-paced multiplayer game, along with viewers from the community! From there, the following Knights members will be streaming everything from Art, to Halo Infinite, and more! All with their own unique incentives!
Dylan added, “I am excited to work with Dreamscape to help provide the disabled community with the accessibility and access to tools they need to build a better tomorrow for themselves and the world!”
