The guys and girls have decided to help with gaming during the Corona crisis. Normally, these streams take place under the motto “Friendly Fire”, but due to the current situation, the stream on April 14th will be called “FriendlyDistancing”.
How does FriendlyDistancing work?
When does it start? The kickoff is on April 14th at 6:00 PM. That’s Tuesday next week.
Where can I watch it? You can find the streams on the respective channels of the streamers.
How can you donate? In the streams, you will find a donation link that leads you to Betterplace.org. For your donations, you will receive an official donation receipt.
For whom are we collecting? Among the organizations for which donations are collected are the Corona emergency aid worldwide from Aktion Deutschland Hilft, the Corona immediate aid for the homeless/unhoused from Leipzig, CADUS – Emergency Response, and others.
Twitch is also pleased about the event. The Director of Partnerships DACH, Jannik Hülshoff, writes:
We are very happy that we are also on board as a partner for this “Friendly Fire event”. The Friendly Fire team has already proven multiple times how much can be achieved through joint engagement. Especially now, it is important to set a strong sign to achieve great things together. And not just in Germany, but worldwide. Supporting charitable causes is part of the special Twitch culture and these days we see week after week how our community comes together to help each other and others in times of COVID-19.
How did the last Friendly Fire go? In December 2019, “Friendly Fire 5” took place with Gronkh, PietSmiet and other prominent guests from the German gaming scene. The charity stream raised a proud sum of more than 1.1 million euros.
