Goal Reached and Surpassed Three-Fold by Game Theorists’ $1,000,000 Challenge for St. Jude Children’s Hospital 

 Goal Reached and Surpassed Three-Fold by Game Theorists’ $1,000,000 Challenge for St. Jude Children’s Hospital  

This year’s #Giving Tuesday hosted by YouTube Game Theorists Matthew Patrick and Stephanie Patrick exceeded the target three times in a live-streamed funds drive channelled towards supporting St Jude Children’s Hospital in combating children cancer and research. The charity stream brought together more than 30 most popular YouTube content developers, an event that bore more than $3,000,000 for the noble task. Some of the highlights aired during the charity Livestream include IQ trivia challenge, a full canned vegetable tub with a donation worth $25,000 hidden in it, robotic haircuts, a new way of playing Five Nights at Freddy’s (world premiere) and a Melbourne virtual HITT class and a lot more of YouTube content from the developers.  

Among celebrities that made an appearance during the 9-hour stream included the YouTube CEO, Susan Wojcicki, who surprised the hosts with a $450,000 contribution. The appearance was geared towards adding fun while supporting St Jude in its lifesaving mandate. It is worth noting that as a result of the generous contributions and donations received from such drives, St Jude does not present their clients with a bill of any kind, not even for food or travel. The families to the children attended at St Jude Children’s Hospital should only be concerned about the hospital helping their children live.

St Jude Children’s Hospital has led the world in understanding and treating cancer among children and other diseases that are a threat to the world through their clear purpose: “Finding Cures. Saving Children.” This commitment has seen the survival rate of cancer children rise steadily from 20% to 80% over the 50 years of operation. St Jude Hospital generously shares discoveries made about any child who has been treated to recovery to the world to have more children saved by doctors and scientists worldwide using the discoveries.
