I will start at 9AM EST!

Hawk thats not a bad idea, but I don't know any local charities, and I've heard only good things about DWB and Child's Play.

I hope so too Zulu

That seems kinda soon, don't you want to hype it or something for more viewers?

This is a great move Sheth, I love having your stream up on my 2nd monitor at work, I am really looking forward to work tomorrow now. Don't go too all-out on this though, get your stretches and breaks in, you don't want to finish so close to TLO in the injury department!

Google some food banks where you live, homeless shelters, stuff like that. Even stuff like a local soccer or baseball league could use the funding.

DWB i've only heard good things about though

and I agree about the time, def don't go 9 am EST, esp if you are gunning for US users primarily.

Nope... I'm going to be doing another one in the near future, and I'll put alot of work into hyping that one up. This one is just something I now have a burning desire for. If I have alot of viewers great, if not ... well such is life. I'm hoping that see'ing my name streaming all day and simply doing it for charity will be helpful. =)

Hey Sheth I think this is a great idea. I'm not sure if that poll is just a screen cap from stream or a live poll, but I would vote for MSF. (Doctors without borders.) I think as far as charities go they are pretty good about properly allocating money, and they are great so far as being non-discriminatory.

Edit: voted

Child's Play, as you've noted and RedJustice said as well, is a great choice for revenues from streaming Starcraft. Professional gamers help poor and sick children forgetting about their struggles for some time. I like that a lot. Just be sure to advertise your charity-stream in advance, so many people will be able to watch it. The more people watch, the more money will be raised (and the more action will be going on in your chat

).

No matter which option you pick - keep in mind, that everything is better than doing nothing. You're doing something good! Great! Enjoy your streaming-marathon. I'll be there!

Make-A-Wish foundation is a very good charity,

If you havent heard of them they give very sick children and give them one wish they want,
one kid actually went to blizzard and they let him design his own quest in WoW (Its a quest the tauren starting zone)

Any money raised for any of these organisations is worthy in my opinion. Money going towards the furthering of Esports will just mean more events like this one will be possible in the future. It is fantastic that a platform such as streaming is being used in this way and I will most certainly have the stream open all day. Good luck Sheth, you are the man!

PS, TLO totally stole your idea

I have the votes for the old poll written down, and the reason I changed it is in the main post... Thanks for the nice posts. Glad everyone else seems to like these donation sites as well.

100% of all money donated to charity:water goes to building wells and sources of clean water for people who no access.

All of their administrative costs and credit card fees are covered by other sponsors, so you know if you donate $100 then exactly $100 goes directly to the project.

Sheth, you're amazing, and I <3 you.

I'll for sure be online for your game-o-thon, and Child's Play ftw!
