Default Battle4Charity3


Click the banner above for for stream website.



Hello guys, it has come to my attention that you guys aren't familiar with Battle4Charity. Battle4Charity is an event that the Youtube Pokemon Battling Community has been doing to raise money for a chosen charity. It will take place at http://Battle4Charity.net

Battle4Charity3 is right around the corner, from September 2nd. at 10 AM EST, and is expected to end around September 5th. There will be two streams going 24/7 where streamers will be doing funny stuff, and also interacting and battling via chat. I will be one of the people moderating the chat, so if there are any problems or questions just PM me there, I'll be using the name Jared.

Back to to the event, the charity we have chosen is Child's Play. The concept of Child's Play is gamers to give back. All of the donated money will be sent directly to Child's Play paypal and will be used to buy games, books, movies, etc. for children hospitals. The items are given to patients going through rough times, whether it be surgery, chemotherapy, and any sort of long term condition, and they can play with them to help recover or get through the operation. After the child is done with whatever they have borrowed, it is returned and given to another child. It is definitely an amazing charity and helps out a ton of kids in need. To watch and battle people in the stream, it has 100% free, you don't have to donate a penny... but it would be greatly appreciated if you could spare some money for the charity. For people who think this is a little shady, taking money from people, here is proof of donation from the last two Battle4Charitys.

This sounds cool. I'm curious, what determines how much money they donate?

We donate every penny we get, we're cutting out the paypal tax by donating DIRECTLY to the Child's Play paypal now.

So 100% of the donations come from the viewers?

I don't understand one thing, though: how does watching/streaming videos translate into donations for the charity?

The whole point is streaming for charity, viewers donate money.
