Melbourne-based website Player 2 has announced that it will be running its successful 24-hour charity marathon for the third straight year.
Last year the P2 team raised an impressive $3700 for charity and are this year hoping to raise the bar with a goal of $4000. Proceeds will be donated to the Terry Campese Foundation, which will be used to help sick and underprivileged families from the Canberra and Southern NSW regions.
The 24-hour stream will begin on September 15 at 10 am and conclude the following day. The P2 team will be playing a different game every hour, with titles such as Halo Master Chief Collection, Rock Band and NBA Jam on the menu. The stream will be taking place on the Player 2 Twitch channel.
To encourage people to donate, Player 2 has assembled a juicy list of prizes, which can be won with a donation of $2 or more. Some of the prizes include a Pip Boy, Spider-Man and Far Cry 5. To make a donation head to https://makingadifference.gofundraise.com.au/page/MattHewson2.
“The chance to help out a charity such as Terry’s is an honour and a privilege”, says Player 2 Editor, Matt Hewson. “At Player 2, we often lament the lack of positive coverage our favourite hobby receives from mainstream media, so we feel it is our responsibility to lead by example. We are a small site in the grand scheme of things, but as we have shown previously our size doesn’t stop us from helping out in a meaningful way. The Terry Campese Foundation is a charity that aims to help those who are struggling in life, be it from illness or poverty, and that is something I feel we can all get behind.”
I can’t recommend getting involved in this great cause highly enough. Plus, the P2 team are excellent people and should be applauded in helping those in need.
