#extralife charity

[thehayhaylstorm]

I don’t know who may read this, but hoping to get some folks who can help out?

We’re doing our ExtraLife Charity Stream and we’re really close to hitting our goal (we’re a bit over $600 and our goal is $1000)

We have some fun incentives going, including donating X amount for a muppet drawing of you, etc. and the stream is going until Nov 5 at 12:00pm ET Sunday, so we have about a good chunk of hours to get through.

I’ll be on stream for later/in early morning parts, likely playing Baldur’s Gate, Playing League, or drawing muppets somas live (if I can figure out how to stream it).

I’d appreciate any help I can get, whether they be donations if you can or even if it’s just company in the chat. :)

I’ve put some info down below and if you end up over there, let me know you came from here!!

Also any muppets I draw I’m adding them to a collage :)

Extra Life 2022

Join me on November 5th and 6th for an all-weekend charity stream! 100% of all donations will go to Lurie Children's Hospital and donors get to bid on which game they want me to play. This year, I will be playing games in what I'm calling "Ultra Hardcore Mode"; if I die, I have to quit, uninstall the game, and permanently remove it from my steam library! Many games will be lost.  Hope to see you there! 

Visit extra-life.org/participant/484385 for more details, and be sure to check out the stream at twitch.tv/march_tv

Extra Life 2023

ExtraLife Success - 3rd Year in a Row

What a year 2022 was! Will go into more of that later, but let's focus on charity fundraising for a little bit for this particular post.

I found out about ExtraLife in a pretty unique way and in a much needed way too. We were in the midst of the pandemic and I was looking for something to do, some sort of purpose as I took a job that gave me very little joy and wanted to do more with my life. On Facebook, my ExtraLife team now for three years, posted about their big game day fundraiser where they had gamers in my city schedule their own 24 hours charity streams all to raise money for my local Stollery Children's Hospital. I happened to have that weekend off in November of 2020, and decided- let's go for it. I set a donation goal of only $300 USD because I knew I was coming into the year long fundraiser late and tried my best to advertise my schedule, my incentives, and even share the link wherever possible. A few donations came in before the stream and it felt like it was possible! I could hit this goal. Then came the stream day that year and it was the worst stream I had ever had...for a charity stream and so much support before hand, I only had two people come by in the 24 hours, and received no donations... I felt like this was not the path for me and decided to only have one more stream that year then quit it altogether... but we hit the goal and I was encouraged by my team to keep going the following year.

The second year and even this year was such an amazing success! I did not stream much throughout the last two years as I did not want to have that awful sinking feeling of failure when no one came or no one donated... so I learned more about marketing a bit- hashtags to add, emails to send, and shared with more loved ones in my life that I was doing this thing for a hospital that meant a lot to me when I was younger. Through all of those efforts, last year I raised just a smidge over $1000 USD and with that came some rewards- a silver medal and a gold medal, as well as some ExtraLife specific D&D dice... which, yes, did make me cry as D&D has become so important to me in my life and was surprised at the support I had to receive these incentives and hit that amazing goal.

This year, I am nearing the end of 2022 with just a day left and we are currently sitting at $1060 USD- another silver and gold medal under my belt, an ExtraLife puzzle, and- for my precious D&D heart, an ExtraLife Dice Tray. I was worried about this year. The bar was set high on reaching this milestone again as I did the year before and to be honest? It was not until the second half of this year that donations did start rolling through. Part of that was from me getting more active again on socials to share the link and awareness of fundraising money for kids to get better health treatments at my local hospital, but the other part of this was me streaming again! It has been mainly Minecraft the past couple of months but through streaming, social media saaviness and reaching out to so many more people, my community has expanded so much the last little while and we have done so well as a community to hit another huge milestone.

What charity fundraising has taught me is to never give up. I thought about giving up often this past year- why should I keep trying if no one is noticing? If no one is interacting? If no one cares? However, that was not the case at all- people are noticing, they are seeing this effort, they can also see how much this means to me. Through tears and long hours- I can do this. We can do this. We have done this. Not going to lie though, it would be funny to see if we can fundraise another $51 USD though because... well, a final fundraising goal of $1111 would be amazing. XD

Long post and story short though, ExtraLife has been amazing despite the ups and downs, the doubts, and the small moments of asking myself "is what I am doing even going to matter?" I have met new friends, became a part of a community dedicated to charity, streaming, gaming, and fundraising, as well as slowly becoming more integrated into the my local team.

What's next? Well, year 4 is coming up and I am definitely participating. I want to set a higher goal for next year- $1250 USD. I want to join my local team in more events and make even more friends. I also want to stream regularly, at least 1-2 times a week to keep stretching myself as much as possible. I am ending 2022 feeling more lonely than I thought I would be despite the community that has been built- let's hope that for 2023, we will hit a larger goal fundraised, make more friends, and maybe not end 2023 as lonely as I am in 2022.

Stream Reminder: Live at 7:30pm Pacific

Hey Friends! Do you feel like it's been too long since you've given proper attention to your Dear Leader? Well, I might just have the thing for you! At 7:30pm Pacific tonight (10:30pm Eastern, 7:30am GMT). We've prepared the commune for worship, and we're ready to jump back into the wild world of Cult of the Lamb.

Both channel point integration and participation in viewer indoctrination (a viewer raffle to have your username become one of the cultists in-game) are active. Join us, help or hinder us when the opportunity presents itself, and contribute to the Twitch Totem!

Tonight: Last session we took out Old God #2. We know up front we have two followers dying, and so we'll have to deal with that (I think food this time). Oh! And more outhouses. I really need more outhouses.

Tonight is our final Extra Life stream as well... it's your last chance

Hope to see you there! https://twitch.tv/ThymeFraym (7:30pm - 10:00pm Mondays and Wednesdays)

Hey there!

The results of the poll are in!

As a reminder: As part of the Extra Life 24 Hour Charity Livestream, fans of Malevolent that donated $50 or more towards Sick Kids Hospital were able to submit a prompt for me to make.

This could be anything from a short skit to a fun scenario.

After much voting, two prompts were picked.

This was one of them.

Enjoy.

Extra Life Charity 24-Hour Marathon Stream - Nov 2-3 2024!

Hiya! I’m Roz, aka BlackjackKent, and I am a Twitch variety gaming streamer. For my TENTH YEAR RUNNING, I am fundraising with Extra Life to raise money for Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, IL.

As part of my fundraising efforts, I’ll be participating in the Game Day events by livestreaming at http://www.twitch.tv/blackjack_kent for 24 hours straight from 12pm, Sat Nov 2 through 11am, Sun Nov 3 (Central Time) (a full 24 hours due to daylight savings time), playing all sorts of games!

As in past years, every $25 you donate allows you to pick a game for one hour of this marathon session, so bring your wackiest and wildest suggestions. In addition to viewer requests, I’ll also be playing Choice Chamber, Jackbox, Guild Wars 2, Dark Souls, and various other favorites.

Since this is my tenth anniversary of participating in Extra Life, I will be adding some brand new incentives for donations this year, which I will post further about as the stream draws near.

You can donate to this year’s campaign here:

Thanks for reading! Extra Life is always a super fun time for a good cause, and I'd love your help to make my tenth anniversary something special.

Please donate if you can, share this post around, or come by on stream day to help keep me hyped up! Hope to see you there! 💜
