Gamers for Planned Parenthood
We're gamers around the world who are pledged to a do a 24-hour gaming marathon to raise money for Planned Parenthood on the US Inaguration day, January 20th or the weekend that follows.
Planned Parenthood helps millions of women and men get high-quality, affordable health care and are the nation's largest provider of sex education. And their funding is at risk now that Donald Drumpf is our President-elect.
Please help us support this amazing organization today with a donation.
If you'd like to join us, and ALL gamers are welcome (console, PC, board, tabletop, etc.), just comment below and share this page!
All the proceeds will be donated to Planned Parenthood's national organization. I'll be eating any fees up to $2000, so as much money raised as possible will go to the organization.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I do participate as a gamer?
Just comment down below that you're in or join our Facebook Event (and you can share your Twitch link), or message me on Facebook and I can add you to the list of streamers (forthcoming). Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to message me on here. But if anyone finds one, let me know. If you don't want to make your stream public on here, that is totally fine!
Then play for 24 hours, starting on Inauguration Day (Jan 20th) or the weekend after! I'll be starting at about 9am Central, but you can start any time you like.
I can't stream! What else can I do?
You don't have to stream! You can just pledge to play on or after Jan 20th.
I can't game! What else can I do?
You can donate, of course, which we'd be greatful for. But even just a link share is helping us get the word out!
How will the money get to PP?
Once the campaign is complete, on Monday Jan 23rd, I'll transfer the money from GoFundMe to myself, and then donate it to PP. I will post screenshots of the process as I go (I don't know if it takes a few days; I assume it will), including the final donation. I'll be eating the fees up to $2000 (or more, depending on my budget).
Who the heck are you and why are you doing this?
I'm Lindsey Latiolais from Chicago. You can find me on Linkedin if you want to confirm I'm real. I have been lucky in life to not need the services of Planned Parenthood, but their cause is dear to my heart. Access to quality health care and access to free/cheap birth control is a huge correlate with womens success in this world, both in this country and others. I want to make sure that those in situations different from my own don't lose that access.
