ROLES: CHAIRMAN, WEBSITE COORDINATOR & PUBLIC RELATIONS: DESIGN | WEBSITE | DONATION WEBSITE
After 2019's success, we decided to organizes to organize another charity stream in order to raise money for the Dutch heart foundation Hartstichting. I am a co-founder and board member of the foundation and have taken on the roles of Chairman, Website Coordinator and Public Relations: Design for this year's edition. The team consists of eight people from different backgrounds and is spread across The Netherlands.
We organized a 60-hour gaming marathon from the in September 2020 in order to collect donations for Hartstiching. Just like 2019's edition, we broadcast everything live on Twitch with giveaways powered by our partners, special guests and more. Additionally, we used the lessons from the last edition to organize an event that is better in every way. After a successful weekend, we raised €8.670,00 for Hartstichting.
Through video games, we can see entire worlds being created, friendships being forged and experiences being shared. We at Dutch Game Marathon believe that video games bring people closer together and are committed to making the world a little better through video games.
