BriWanderful has raised almost $3,000 for charity through Tiltify
How much have you fundraised?
As an individual $2,984.66 and my Sound Off team has raised $3,489.59
What is the next fundraising campaign you have planned?
'Sound Off for St Jude' a two-day music event hosted in VRChat and livestreamed to twitch on November 22nd & 23rd featuring a mix of live performances and dj sets
What is your favorite moment of fundraising?
Probably when I was on stage wrapping up Sound Off 2023 and it really hit home how much we had raised and that I have been able to build a community around me that is able to accomplish such amazing things. It was the first ever event I had organised myself and on such a large scale, everything had come together beautifully and I couldn't have been prouder and more thankful to everyone who participated.
BriWanderful used Bonfire to sell merch that sent proceeds to St. Jude
What Tiltify tools have you used that made an impact on your fundraising?
The incentives pages and the overlay tools I've used every single time and they make things so much easier both for setting up, and getting people to donate
What is a fun fact you’d like to share?
Before starting Sound Off because I dont stream regularly I used to always tell people "I'm guaranteed to stream at least once a year for charity" for the Metal Meal Meltdown event. Now with Sound Off I suppose I'll have to start tell people two times a year instead!
What advice do you have for anyone fundraising for the first time?
Don't focus too much on the total amount you're able to fundraise just do you best, but remember "doing your best" doesn't mean working so hard you have a mental breakdown, EVERY little bit helps, even it that's just a single dollar or sharing out a campaign
