Welcome back!
It's that time of year again, y'all.
- Project for Awesome time. - Yeah.
Now you probably know,
but, uh, Project for Awesome is community driven charity event
put on by our friends, John and Hank Green,
basically people make YouTube videos to show support
for their favorite charities.
Then people vonate-- vonate--
- vote for their favorite... - Well, that's kinda what you do.
On the website and there's a live streaming event.
We'll get into all that, but, um,
uh, the first part of this video is to highlight,
uh, our chosen charity.
Yeah, we're gonna participate like we do every year,
uh, and this year, we're doing one of our favorite charities.
- St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. - Mm-hmm.
Uh, we're giving them top aid in their efforts to research, treat,
and ultimately defeat childhood cancer
and other life threatening diseases,
uh, and I'm gonna read a little bit about St. Jude
and why we like them so much.
- Yeah. - Um,
their philosophy is that no child is denied treatment
based on race, religion, or a family's ability to pay.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment,
travel, housing, or food,
because all the family should worry about in that situation
- is helping their child live. - Exactly.
Um, St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states
from around the world.
Their goal is 100% survival.
Uh, the treatments invented by St. Jude
have helped to push the overall childhood cancer survival rate
from 20% to more than 80%
since they opened more than 50 years ago.
And you know, as a parent.
I mean, you start to experience things with your children
that you can never anticipate,
like, any type of boo boo.
From the smallest age, you want to do everything you can...
- Yeah. - To help them, and, um,
I mean, I know that we both been through things with our kids
that are like, okay, stop the presses...
- Mm-hmm. - I've got-- we gotta do everything we can
for our kids and, um, if you have cancer
or if you have a child who has cancer.
I mean, it's the type of thing you don't wanna be thinking about
can I afford this?
- Right. - You know? You don't want to have to filter
everything through that.
So that's the great thing about what St. Jude does
that, uh, that is extremely exciting.
- And effective. - Right.
In terms of, uh, the way they're moving the needle
when it comes to childhood cancer and things like that
so, um, it's a tremendous organization and you can go to...
- Right. - ...to donate.
So, join us in doing that.
That's step one. The second thing, um, we wanna move onto
is, uh, send you over to over to Projectforawesome.com
Uh, you can check out, like I said, other people's videos,
you can vote for your favorite charity, you can make your own video,
- first of all, - Mm-hmm.
but, um, the--
when you vote for your favorite charities over there,
the top 20 charities voted for by the community,
uh, will receive a percentage of all of the money raised
through Project for Awesome
over the course of the live stream.
- And last year-- - That could be a lot of money.
They raised $2,000,000.
So that is a lot of awesome that is happening.
So find this video to vote for St. Jude
as a part of Project for Awesome
as a part of their live stream which starts today, December 15th
at noon and goes through noon, eastern time this coming Sunday.
And of course one of the parts of Projects for Awesome
is YouTubers like us, uh, donate some things that can be auctioned off
- all for charity. - Mm-hmm.
And here's what we're going to be donating,
and that's some signed GMM posters,
some signed GMM T-shirts,
uh, three full sets of the 21 set--
- the 21 badge, mythical badge set, - Mm-hmm.
that came out with the book of mythicality
and possibly, I can't confirm it,
it's so limited that I cannot confirm it.
- I can't even give you any details, - We are limited.
There's a very, very limited edition item
that may be a part of it.
Boy, isn't that tantalizing?
