Anna has accomplished so much in the gaming industry - from professional Halo and Call of Duty competitor on the MLG Circuit to working in Community Engagement at Alienware, the community she has built up as an influencer is undeniably powerful. Over the last 6 years, they have raised over $100,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - and, in the first week of the PLAY LIVE Prize Season this year, they have raised over $27,000 at the time of recording - and $35,000 at the time of posting this episode. With a month-long fundraising campaign for St. Jude every May, we wanted to talk to Anna Maree about how she finds a way to keep her momentum moving forward from day to day - while also asking about working with brands and her personal connection to St. Jude.

In Episode 4, we invited back our CEO and co-founder Michael Wasserman to talk about the importance of taking your fundraising programs and adapting them to a more digital experience. At the time of recording, the world is currently facing a pandemic (COVID-19), which is causing the world to cancel social gatherings of all sizes. Because of this, charities are now missing out on in-person events (run/walks, galas, etc.) - so while we have always encouraged nonprofits to take the leap into the virtual world, now, more than ever, is the time to get started!

For this episode, we decided to do it as a live recording on Twitch - which included many presentation slides and other visuals! So while you can definitely listen to this podcast recording and get a good grasp of what we're talking about, we do suggest checking out the video version on YouTube for the full experience this week!
