DrLupo announces all Twitch tips will be donated to charity DrLupoBenjamin \u2018DrLupo\u2019 Lupo is no stranger to philanthropy, but now he\u2019s kicked it to a whole new level and decided to donate all future tips on his Twitch channel to St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital. [jwplayer Xo8okBKe] Popular streamers are widely considered to be a force for good. They entertain the masses and create tight-knit communities, and some have even made an effort to give something back. Iman \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys, who was named the highest-earning female streamer this year, capped her donations to five dollars and urged fans to support other causes with the excess. Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg did something similar. Initially, he turned off donations completely. But then he had an even better idea. He turned them back on and started donating them all to charity. Now, DrLupo is doing the same. The 33-year-old American Twitch star has been one of the platform\u2019s most philanthropic streamers. In 2018, he raised more than one million dollars for St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital. Then, less than a year later, he doubled that and raised over two million dollars in a 24-hour stream. Now, he\u2019s at it again. DrLupo is hosting yet another Build Against Cancer stream. It\u2019s happening between December 19 and December 20, and all donations will go to the same cause. In addition, people can also buy an official t-shirt, with all proceeds donated to the cause. The sale numbers alone have already raised around $20,000, and it\u2019s only going up. If that wasn\u2019t enough, DrLupo has also gone above and beyond and made a permanent pledge. \u201cEffective immediately, all tips to the channel will instead go directly to St. Jude via Tiltify,\u201d he said. \u201cThis will be the case forever.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m incredibly lucky to have a community that has chosen to support me, my family, and many wonderful causes for so many years,\u201d he added. \u201cHelping those in need, like the children at St. Jude who fight cancer every day, is very important to me.\u201d December 19th \u2013 20th Benefiting @StJude. pic.twitter.com\/InAzm9j3Kg \u2014 DrLupo (@DrLupo) November 20, 2020 Last but not least, DrLupo also said he\u2019s working with sponsors to organize prizes that will be given to random viewers who made a donation each month. It\u2019s a way to give back to his community as well as thank viewers for supporting the cause. In the end, nobody expects streamers to be charitable and philanthropic, even the most successful ones. It isn\u2019t a requirement after all. But people are thrilled to see so many of them lift their game, and the support has been tremendous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
