Fortnite Subreddit to Host 24 Hour Charity Streaming Marathon

There have been plenty of examples of members from the worlds of Twitch and YouTube using the two platforms to help raise money for worthwhile causes through the power of gathering hundreds of thousands of people together with entertaining gameplay and personalities. This will be the goal of the two subreddits that focus on the two game modes for the massively popular title from Epic Games in Fortnite.

The /r/Fortnite and /r/FortniteBR subreddits will be enlisting the help of popular streamers from Twitch and YouTube on November 3rd to help raise funds for the charity of Extra Life over a 24 hour period. Extra Life is a charity that brings together players from around the world to support their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. Over $40,000,000 has been raised by Extra Life in the support of these Children's Network Hospitals and the sick and injured children they treat since its inception back in 2008. Donations collected by the Fortnite subreddits' Extra Life 24 hour charity streaming marathon will go towards funding critical treatments, healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and charitable care. 

The two subreddits for Fortnite will be looking for streamers to help out with the event by joining Team Fortnite. Streamers do not have to stream for the full 24 hours, but will be required to stream either Fortnite: Save the World or Fortnite: Battle Royale. You can find the requirements for aspiring applicants for the Fortnite subreddit charity live stream marathon for Extra Life below. 

• Must have been streaming on a consistent schedule for the past 60 days. We will be reviewing history.
