GateCrashers has teamed up again with Vault Comics to do our second annual Pride Fundraiser. This year is for the Trans Lifeline. Below is the official press release. I just wanted to give a bit more information on the why on the event.
Last year, we were planning our Pride month content which revolved heavily around DC’s Pride anthology as it did the year before. For the first year, I donated to a charity on my own, as I did with our Young Animal project. But we were much larger last year than the year before, so it felt like I wasn’t living by the GateCrashers mission. We have always wanted to be a platform where people’s voices can be heard and use them to make a difference. So I talked to different members with the idea of some sort of Pride fundraiser to raise funds for a local LGBTQIA+ group. I started reaching out to friends and former guests, but we wanted to do more. So I made a call to Vault to see if they wanted to team up, and thankfully they did.
Planning the Whatnot stream with Dan Crary went extremely smooth, even though we didn’t have a huge time frame to plan. This year we have had a bit more time to plan and get things ready, so I hope we can make an even bigger impact.
At the end of the day, this is about using our platforms to help whoever we can. It’s all the GateCrashers and I want to do. Using our love of things to make the world better for everyone.
