"Play Games. Heal Kids."

Published on 12/7/2016

Every Friday night at around 7pm EST, Skatmaker invites some friends from the local go community to his apartment to stream on a real board to Twitch.tv. The recurring cast on stream includes Skatmaker (40k), Devin Fraze (1D), and Thomas Cummings (~15k).

As of November, Skatmaker has been a participant in a charity event known as Extra-Life, which aims to bring together people and their love of games in order to raise money to help children facing life-threatening illnesses. "With the proceeds benefiting Children's Miracle Network hospitals, these kids can get the medical care and attention they need at little to no cost to their families," says Skatmaker.

Skatmaker and company have raised nearly $300 so far. The charity streams will continue throughout December, until Extra-Life 2016 ends.
