Charity Stream for Ukraine 2

[DracKeN]

On 28/2 as a reaction to Russian invasion, I hosted a charity stream raising money for Ukraine. That stream was very succesful and we raised almost 3000$, smashing both donation goal and my expectations. The money we raised were split - 50% for humanitarian help (donated to People in Need, account for Ukraine) and 50% for Ukrainian armanent forces (donated to a special account of Ukrainian embassy in the Czech Republic).

After more than 7 months, following the escalation of the situation in Ukraine and Russia in the last 2 weeks, there is only one reasonable thing to do - keep supporting Ukraine. Therefore, I'm hosting another Stream for Ukraine this Saturday 12 GMT. Every dollar we raise will be used in the same way as last time - 50% humanitarian, 50% military. If any supporter would prefer to donate everything only to one option, just put a note with your donation.

I'll kick this off with 100$, on top I'll donate 3$ for every subscriber we will have at the end of the stream (including the current ones). That means, for now we're at 175$, rest is up to you. The event will be fully transparent, it will be clear at any point how much money we raised and after the stream I'll share screenshots of sent payments to both organizations (same as last time).

Schedule:
This Saturday, 12 GMT!
12 - 14: CL.DracKeN vs TrCL.Arzach, Bo5, Handicap Arena Showmatch
14 - 15: 1v1 Challenges
15 - 17:30: Clown Legion Bo7 2v2 Showdown (CL.DracKeN, CL.JonSlow, CL.Bloodless, CL.Blackheart), extreme and clownish settings. Both teams share 1 voice chat.
17:30 - 19: Lobby TGs, CL vs challengers Handicap TGs
Hoping that it will be very enjoyable, very clownish and very meaningful day. Cya around!

Here here. Amazing amount raised last time, hopefully something similar again and really good job on DracKen being fully transparent with donations too.

We had over 800$ in donations and combined with the subscribers we reached exactly 1000$, thank you to everyone who made this happen. Only few people had preferences where their donations should be used (armanent forces/humanitarian help) and it did actually even-out, so both organizations (Ukrainian Embassy and People in Need) were already donated 500$ - printscreen below. *Same as the last time, I didn't manage to transfer the money directly from paypal to accounts of both organizations, that's the reason why payment was done from my own bank account.
While the stream didn't match the success of the 1st stream for Ukraine in terms of donations, we still raised considerable amount of money and they will be used for a good cause. Afterall, it was enjoyable, entertaining and meaningful afternoon, thank you all for that.

I couldn't donate yesterday so I donated something today by myself.

Thank you to keep up awareness of the situation in this community.

I hope big streamers and big players may follow soon with similar initiatives, too.
