Not sure if this is the appropriate forum to post this, but I wanted to share this with you guys. Even if you can't make a monetary contribution, even passing this a long to others would go a long way :)

Quote:
Twin Galaxies is on a mission to raise awareness that avid gaming is a worthwhile, socially acceptable, and important activity that’s deserving of more understanding and support. To accomplish this,we are raising funds for the specific things listed below:
A new social media website platform module with features tailored exclusively for video game players to get greater recognition and exposure.
A mobile app to increase access, participation and mobile gaming recognition within the Twin Galaxies system.
Live streamed events, programs and competitions broadcasted through our media network Twin Galaxies Live at TwinGalaxiesLive .
We have been working hard, but can’t get to the finish line on our own. For the small cost of a T-Shirt, and your strong word of mouth, you can help us raise $250,000 and move us toward completion on all of the above as quickly as possible.
At the very core of our beliefs is the idea that we all have the #Right2Game without being culturally shamed, and that we should collectively foster a social climate where gamers feel comfortable considering the career options, mental and physical health benefits, and meaningful social connections that the video game space provides.
All of our initiatives aim to accurately represent the spirit of gaming as a fun, healthy, and ultimately rewarding activity that should not be frowned upon and discouraged.
But in order for our planned efforts to reach success, we need your support. We’re calling on gamers everywhere to join us in our fight We are excited to have resounding celebrity support for our cause and our goals, from 3-time NBA Champion RICK FOX, to JAMIE LEE CURTIS & CHRISTOPHER GUEST, creator of Mortal Kombat ED BOON, music producer and former "American Idol" judge RANDY JACKSON, and even comic book legend STAN LEE — many of whom have donated RARE items that are available as perks to help raise funds for our initiatives to endorse gamers.
Together, our goal is to transform public perception so that those who achieve in the area of video games—whether it’s playing them well, designing them, or growing communities around them—will be as respected and encouraged as those who achieve in sports, music, or any other cultural area where people choose to invest their time and efforts.
At $250,000, we can complete:
Our development of a social media platform addition specifically for gamers and their gaming accomplishments.
Maintenance and development of our core website, which preserves and promotes video game world records and high scores, submitted throughout the decades and from all around the world. We're also building a global online ranking & statistics system.
The Twin Galaxies mobile experience.
New Content Development for the Twin Galaxies Live live-streaming network that broadcasts positive player centric gaming content every day.
If we exceed our goals, we'll be able to start tackling:
The implementation of a no-content ID video submission and upload system.
Additional Outreach Staff dedicated to netting national attention for extraordinary gamers.
A true and proper “Gamer of the Year” award show.
A worldwide, industry cooperative, annual multi-platform, multi-genre video game “Olympics”
