hugs.tf 2018 this weekend

It’s back with hugs, kisses, and more hugs! hugs.tf is a European-based charity livestream for TF2 helping Special Effect. Special Effect is a UK charity that helps youth and people afflicted by disabilities. By using technology ranging from modified joypads to eye-control, Special Effect helps people to play to the very best of their abilities. 

As of this year, hugs.tf has raised over £20,000 for Special Effect and is in their 5th Year, celebrating alongside TF2 and Special Effect’s 10th birthdays. You can catch the stream this weekend, April 21st - 22nd @ twitch.tv/hugstf. 

There’s all sorts of variety, such as scheduled showmatches between Ascent Europe vs Ascent North America, a live Joy of Painting segment with talents @darklitria and Squirrel_BVC, Mann vs. Machine with CeeJaey, and much more on the schedule. and guests ranging from members of top 6v6 ETF2L team Se7en such as kaidus and Drackk, to @kritzkast ’s host himself Agro will be attending as talent for the couch. 

Donations are now open, and you can donate with either cash at our donation landing page, or keys via Scrap.tf. As we speak, hugs.tf have currently raised around £4000 even before the weekend. If you donate over £10, you will be eligible for The Heartfelt Hero: a medal designed by XB33, @uberchain, and DarkLitria that shows two halves of a heart hugging, adorned with birthday ribbon swirling around in an anniversary celebration.

If you’d like to get involved or appear in the livestream, you can! Firstly, hugs.tf wants to show a collection of community figures to submit shout-out videos to show on stream at the start and end of breaks. If you are a contributor to TF2 such as a Youtuber or a content creator of sorts, you can make a short 5-10 second video (using a decent quality web cam or better) using the frame of “I’m X, I do/did X in TF2 and you’re watching hugs 2018” as the idea concept. Send a download link to staff@hugs.tf and it might be featured!

Secondly, for the Joy of Painting segment, hugs.tf is also accepting fanart! If you want to paint or draw along with the gang or tweet any fanart to our Twitter, it will be shared on stream during the segment, with a chance at a prize.

We hope to see you at the stream this weekend to help out some kids, and give out some virtual hugs!

Heals for Reals: A Charity Stream In Memory of TF2 Community Member CornishGamerHen

On March 1st, 2017, community member CornishGamerHen passed away from taking his own life. A coalition of community members has come together to produce a charity event in tribute to CornishGamerHen. Taking place on December 9th and 10th on twitch.tv/kritzkast, Heals For Reals will raise funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The AFSP works to raise awareness, fund research, and providing resources for those in need.

Mike “CornishGamerHen” Krasny loved playing medic and was a dedicated member of the TF2 community, bringing humor and joy to those he played with. He attended FLAN, GXL, and played 6s and Highlander in the UGCLeague. Mike’s passion for TF2 was contagious, the impact he personally had on his fellow players in the community was huge and underlines the ability for gaming to transcend barriers and connect people. This event will include opportunities for people to memorialize CornishGamerHen, share personal stories regarding depression and suicide, as well as discuss ways to find help and improve mental health. Balancing out the very serious nature of our fundraising will be a diverse spread of light hearted and competitive TF2 programming.

eXtine and Lecrum will be hosting it from eXtine’s apartment in Portland, Oregon, they will be joined by as many guests as possibly, in person and online. 

There will be a medal distributed for donations over $10 as well as those competing in the ultiduo tournament. Please include your STEAM:ID in the donation notes.
