Gamers Outreach and Esports Business Summit Are Teaming Up for Charity

Gamers Outreach, a non-profit that provides equipment, technology, and software to kids stuck in hospitals for treatment, is teaming up with the Esports Business Summit for a charity showcase at the Esports Arena in Las Vegas tonight. The showcase, which will run from 7pm to 9pm Pacific, 10pm to 12am ET, will feature streamers taking the main stage in a competitive round of Fortnite action.

The charity showcase will launch the first night of the Esports Business Summit, and features streamers Censor, Pterodactyl, HusKerrs and GlitterXplosion taking to the field of battle in Fortnite for a night of excellent competition. Each streamer will be streaming on their own channel while also promoting Gamers Outreach to their fans. The player with the most eliminations in the two-hour window will be crowned the Gamers Outreach Charity Showcase Champion.

“We’re grateful to be the official charity partner of the 2018 Esports Business Summit,” said Zach Wigal, Founder of Gamers Outreach. “Our organization is focused on providing entertainment to hospitalized children across hundreds of healthcare facilities. Through this showcase, we’ll be demonstrating how esports events, competitors, and fans can rally support for charitable causes.”

The event will also be broadcast through the Esports Arena Las Vegas, with Chris Puckett (MLG), Alex “Axeltoss” Rodriguez (RLCS host) and Wigal providing commentary on the event, discussion on the blending of esports and charities, interviews with the streamers, and a behind-the-scenes look at the event.

Fans can tune in to the action on the main stream, here, and donations to Gamers Outreach can be made here.
