Welcome to our new corner of the internet. Creating a landing page for Gaming4Guts has been an ambition of mine for over a year now and I was able to get that done this month. I had wanted to do it sooner but wanted to wait until our fundraiser in December was completed. On top of having a new website we also have a newsletter so be sure to sign up for that if you want to receive the latest news from us! We are hoping to send out a quarterly newsletter once we get them going.
Speaking of December, we raised $10,170 for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation! This was a huge milestone for us because we have raised over $50,000 total since 2014 for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. We were so excited to hit that milestone this past year. We put a lot of hard work and effort into the December fundraiser so it was amazing to see it pay off!
We met all of our milestones for 2021! We still have a couple of them that we still need to complete. The t-shirts will be launching shortly and the money raised from this is going to come back to Gaming4Guts to help us pay for website upkeep and the yearly artwork that we have done every year. So far we’ve been paying for all of this out of pocket! Any help you can send our way would be greatly appreciated. I know that I am super excited to finally have a Gaming4Guts shirt. I have been wanting one for years!
Mark(Deo) will at some point be doing a 24 hour stream dressed as Fay Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. There have been some delays to this stream due to shipping delays for Mark’s outfit. We will be sure to keep everyone posted as to when it will happen. Now, all of the admin’s but Mackenzie(Slurms) have either done a Baby Metal stream before or have talked about doing one. This year they said that if we hit $10,000 that they would do it again! Since we hit that milestone there will be two different Baby Metal events. We are working on getting the details for those together so stay tuned. I will also be keeping purple streaks in my hair for all of 2022. I will check in periodically with how that is going once I get them in. My hair is currently still purple from December!
One of the reasons why we love doing this fundraiser so much in December is because it’s a fundraiser that we can participate in from the comfort of our own homes. If you have inflammatory bowel disease or know someone with it you know it can be hard to leave the house at times if they’re not doing well. It’s really nice to be able to do a fundraiser from the comfort of your own home. Gaming4Guts is open to everyone who is interested in participating. Stay tuned throughout the year and be sure to sign up for our newsletter so you can stay on top of when our yearly gamerthon streaming extravaganza is going to happen for 2022!
