Now starting year 6, Last year I still did this even with everything going on. I hope to hit 1k again this year and I could use everyone’s help. If you have two dollars I’ll take it, that’s 2 more than I had to reach my goal.
For the last Five years I have streamed video games as a charity event for an organization called StackUP! Starting a week before Memorial Day and running until Veterans Day. I Stream games to raise money to support our Veterans and their Families. The fundraiser itself runs for a year at a time but I set aside this time to focus on it. My daughter got me involved in the program and we are on team BTU. The first link is to My Fundraising Page If you are happy just taking my word for it with no other info needed then click away and make a donation, even a dollar helps me get to my goal.
“Founded in 2015 by a combat veteran who personally experienced the positive impact gaming can have — emotionally and psychologically — on veterans, Stack Up is the only charity directly supporting the military and bringing together veterans and civilian supporters through the shared love of video gaming. Stack Up programs provide support and gaming benefits to U.S., NATO, Australian, and New Zealand veterans.”
Below are some stories, news and Studies on gaming and it’s effects for people with PTSD. Their work with Suicide prevention and the StOP Initiaitve. StackUp! does so many things. I’m proud to be associated with them even in such a small way as fundraising.
The video’s below are from my Stream last year during Stack Ups Call To Arms. The first video is a 150 player Battle Royal We we’re the winners of that match, beating out 148 other players.This was me and BTU Member EchoEri from Canada winning our first match of the night.
Raft is a nice relaxing game, except when Bruce the Shark comes. I think there was at one point 15 people on our tiny raft that night, this clip is my favorite though 🙂 My Daughter had gone to get some Tea, or maybe get hit in the face with a pie for a donation.
During my Last Call to Arms my Supply Crates went to Wayne and his family. Click the pic to read the story. I want to do more this year if possible and with your help I can.
This next Image is last years totals for the Call to Arms event. 256 supply crates full of games and fun for Veterans and families. Six Air Assualt Events so much good done.
The StOP Initiaitve. is one of the programs I like best, The gaming is great but sometimes people need a person to just listen, to really listen and to me thats what this program is.
So there we have it folks my Late “S” Post for the A to Z Challenge. If you want to hear my voice and see me play games you can find me below doing streams for StackUP! Just Click the Team logo.
