TwitchCon Cheering for Charity
This TwitchCon, we’re giving the viewers at home the power to Cheer for Charity on all 11 official TwitchCon channels.
For every 100 Bits Cheered on TwitchCon channels, Twitch will donate $1 to charity, no hashtag needed! The funds collected go toward the fundraising pool for the Tiltify Charity Decathlon, where teams of top broadcasters will compete in various events throughout TwitchCon to score points for their charity. All ten charities will benefit, but the one with the winning team gets the biggest slice of the funds.
To watch the Charity Decathlon live, go to the Charity Plaza Stage channel.
Charities benefitting include: Doctors Without Borders, Stack-Up, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Direct Relief, GameChanger, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Extra Life, Save the Children, Young Survival Coalition, and American Red Cross.
