We want to give a massive thank you to Enduring Games

During our 24-hour Memorial Day stream, they pledged to match donations up to $2,000. While we unfortunately didn’t reach that goal, they chose to donate the full $2,000 anyway.

That decision means real impact for the kids and families we support through Gold Star Gamers. It helps us continue building safe spaces, mentorship programs, gaming experiences, and community for children carrying unimaginable loss.

In a world where many companies look for reasons to scale back support, Enduring Games chose generosity.

Thank you for believing in our mission and the families we serve.

Across the full campaign, live donations reached $2,295! After the stream, Chris Perkins announced he would match the donations and then some, bringing our final total raised to an even $5,000!

That total goes a LONG way: These funds can cover 46 months of safety and moderation in our children's secure Discord, gaming console packages for 9 kids, send 6 kids to STEM and coding boot camps, or provide 4 full PC builds, depending on how we allocate it.

We will be using these funds to help launch TTRPG campaigns and run operations within our secure Discord community as part of our mentorship program. The goal is to create shared storytelling experiences that build connection, confidence, and community for our kids. We also plan to provide dice sets to participants so they can fully engage with the games, explore their creativity, and develop a lasting love for tabletop roleplaying games.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to our amazing cast:

KP11 Studios
Diana Fay
Linsay Rousseau
Amy Vorpahl
James Charles Miller

Thank you to Kailey Bray for putting all of this together, for being the Voice from Beyond, and for keeping us on track.

Thank you to Sydney the Service Aussie for being our Magic Shop roller and the Familiar who brought us all together in the story.

Special thanks to The NPC Guild, our legendary GM Chris Perkins, and Darrington Press for this amazing opportunity.

And thank you to every viewer who showed up and supported us. You helped make this happen.

Thank you for everything.
