The team from The Critical Hit will be streaming video games live, for 24 hours straight (some of us won’t sleep) on Twitch.tv and Facebook Live in support of A Critical Cause!

Expect entertaining group games, interview/gaming sessions with some local game developers and personalities, giveaways, and we’ll even be playing games with the help of everyone watching!

We will be announcing guests and prizes closer to the date.

Last year we raised over $4,000 but there is still so much more to do!

What Is This Event For?

A Critical Cause is a charity fund run by, and for, Winnipeggers who have struggled and are struggling with mental illness. We want to make a difference in our city with better programs and resources to make living with mental illness something that doesn’t stop people from achieving their true potential.

The fund is organized in partnership with The Winnipeg Foundation and your donation will go toward mental health research and support programs right here in Manitoba, because to us…this truly is a critical cause.

When Is The Stream?

12 p.m. on Saturday April 22, until 12 p.m. on Sunday April 23

How Can I Watch/Participate?

We’ll be streaming non-stop, and we want to talk, chat, interact, and play with all of you!
