Gareth Streaming for Syrians on Twitch!

As recently discussed on the podcast, Gareth Chantler has recently been working with displaced Syrians in Turkey. He’s going to be raising money on Twitch this Sunday, and I encourage you to watch and/or participate in the fundraising (which is not require to watch). Here are the details he sent me:

What: I will be playing the first day of SCOOP (as well as playing cash games) on live twitch stream. My ceiling for the day is to make $5,000 USD that will go towards bringing a refugee, a personal friend of mine, from international limbo in Turkey, to Canada, where he can restart his life.

How it works: If I make $4,999 on the day, I’ll be putting 100% of that money towards his cause. If I make $50,000, I get to greedily keep $45,000 of it. What a life!

We’ll be tracking my cash game winnings and my tournament profits throughout the day. Come be a voyeur, come be entertained, we can talk about poker strategy, have fun, and do whatever it is that twitch streamers do. It will be a long day and I have forgotten how to play poker, so entertainment is going to be rife.

Donation options: Any method you’re willing to donate by should be available. Not all methods of donation will go to the same place, (ie I can’t personally accept credit card payments). But I can guarantee each method of donation will go to help Syrians in need.

When: May 8th from 6:00 EST — ~ 21:00 EST ~ (we might just go all night)
