We've lost too many brothers, sons, fathers, and grandfathers to prostate cancer. One in nine guys gets it, and it's time to take action so that nobody ever has to go through that heartache again.
Whether you're a Twitch Partner making a living off your brand, or an independent streamer just hanging out with friends, your passion for gaming can make an impact for a great cause. ZERO Cancer has a best-possible 4 star rating from Charity Navigator, we're a BBB-accredited charity, and no other prostate cancer nonprofit spends more of the funds raised on actual programs: 85¢ of every dollar donated.

You know your audience better than anyone, so have fun with it and encourage donations in whatever way makes sense for you.

It's your passion that makes the magic.
New to this whole fundraising thing? Here's some hints and tips we've found useful over the years:
IT'S OKAY TO START SMALL. Spreading the word is great, but it's totally fine to just add the donate button to your stream and do business as usual. Your donation page will stay live for as long as you like, so doing a soft launch can be a good way to get comfortable with the fundraising tools and prime your audience ahead of a bigger event.
SHARE STORIES. Facts and figures matter, but people really connect with other people. Connect on a personal level by telling a favorite memory about someone you love. Talk about how huge it'd be to find a cure, knowing that 1 in every 9 men eventually will face this disease.
FOLLOW THE MONEY. Everyone wants to know that money they give will be used wisely. Let them know that ZERO will put their money to good use, we've got the best-possible 4 star rating from watchdog groups like Charity Navigator, and we're among the best at making sure donation go to programs as opposed to overhead and management costs.
