"Thank you so much, to every single person that's donated. To every single person that's supported St. Jude. To every single person that's gonna be at Guardian Con. To every single person that freakin' loves gaming. And most importantly, from top to bottom, St. Jude,” DrLupo said at the end of the stream.
Today, gaming raised $920,343.98 in 4 hours and 30 minutes. ❤️💜
