September 20, 2024
Xsolla, the global leader in video game commerce, is excited to announce its partnership with AbleGamers for a charity campaign at TwitchCon 2024. This collaboration seeks to raise up to $10,000 to support AbleGamers' mission of providing gamers with disabilities the tools, resources, and opportunities to experience gaming without barriers. The campaign, hosted at TwitchCon, offers attendees a chance to get involved while celebrating their shared passion for gaming.At Xsolla’s booth (Booth 1515-SW), attendees will have the exclusive chance to collect one of two limited-edition charity pins. These pins, created in collaboration with Lightstream, feature unique designs: one highlighting Xsolla’s iconic Cat and another co-designed with Lightstream. Only 2,000 pins will be available (1,000 per design), making them highly sought-after collectibles during the event. These pins aren’t just memorabilia—they’re a way to make a tangible difference.To activate the charity aspect of the campaign, attendees are encouraged to post a picture of their pin on social media. By tagging their posts with the hashtags #LightstreamAble and #XsollaAble on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, participants will help Xsolla and its partners donate $5 per post to AbleGamers. The goal is to raise $10,000, which will be used to fund programs that provide assistive technologies, peer counseling, and community support for gamers with disabilities. Attendees can also use additional hashtags like #TwitchCon, #BongoCat, and #SoEveryoneCanGame to broaden the campaign's reach and rally even more support for this important cause.“We are incredibly proud to partner with AbleGamers at TwitchCon 2024,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Xsolla. “This partnership is about more than just fundraising—it’s about raising awareness and creating opportunities for everyone to be part of the gaming world. We’re excited to see the gaming community unite to support a cause that promotes inclusivity and breaks down barriers.”AbleGamers has been at the forefront of improving accessibility in gaming, providing critical resources to help individuals overcome physical challenges and enjoy video games. The organization offers various services, including peer counseling, which provides personalized support to gamers with disabilities to identify the best adaptive technologies and gaming setups. They also invest heavily in engineering research, working to develop and improve assistive technologies that make gaming accessible to everyone. Moreover, AbleGamers fosters a strong sense of community, helping gamers with disabilities form connections, combat social isolation, and build lifelong friendships through gaming.Through this charity campaign, every participant at TwitchCon can play a role in supporting these vital initiatives. A simple social media post can go a long way in ensuring gamers with disabilities have the resources and support they need to enjoy the games they love.For more information on how to participate and contribute, visit Xsolla’s Charity Page.
