Stay Home, Stream Games, and Support ALS Research

Are you finding yourself playing more video games than ever before as you fight cabin fever while social distancing? Or perhaps you want to share your new baking skills, or put on a virtual concert for your friends, family, and followers. Maybe you or someone you know already live streams on Twitch or Mixer? Either way, you can unite your followers in support of a good cause by streaming to support the ALS Therapy Development Institute ( ALS TDI).

Recently ALS TDI partnered with Tiltify, the #1 fundraising charity platform for live streams, to establish the Gamers vs. ALS program. Whether you have 50 followers or 5,000 you can now use your streaming network to support the vital research being done at ALS TDI.

From Fortnite to League of Legends, whatever your game of choice may be, you can raise awareness for ALS and the Gamers vs. ALS program simply by streaming to your followers and asking them to donate. Streamers can sign up on Tiltify to participate in the campaign right now.

Gamers aren’t the only ones invited to participate, however. Anyone can sign up and stream just about anything, from music to dance to comedy to cooking… your imagination is the only limit!

The Gamers vs. ALS campaign launched in April and we will be hosting a special event the week of May 3-9, 2020, the first week of ALS Awareness Month. In 2020, our goal is to have 100 individual gamers or streamers participate in the Gamers vs. ALS program. If each person raises at least $100, that would raise $10,000 which would directly fund ALS research at ALS TDI. With your help, we can do it!
