Spring is here and we’re ushering it in with an exciting Zelda-themed fundraiser, Heroes of Time! Read on for the scoop.
Plus, hear about a type 1 diabetes (T1D) clinical trial that’s changing lives and learn how game industry insiders can support Breakthrough T1D Play.
Heroes of Time: March 20–22
For the past ten days, the Community of Champions has been streaming Zelda games and fundraising for Breakthrough T1D on Tiltify. This weekend the Heroes of Time crew takes over with challenges including randomizers, D&D, and trivia—all based around The Legend of Zelda. Their quest? To aid our mission to find T1D cures.
Tune in this weekend to see how much fundraising power a group of creators can have when they all come together for a cause:
Hear from a Participant in a Life-Changing Clinical Trial
Breakthrough T1D has been a leader in islet cell transplantation for decades and is currently funding more than $450M in research across 20+ countries.
One of these is a clinical trial of Eledon’s tegoprubart, an alternative to standard immunosuppressants that may help prevent translated islet cells from rejection in people with T1D. Katie Beth Hand, a participant in the University of Chicago trial, has been speaking up on social media about how this life-changing therapy has functionally cured her T1D.
Check out her recent conversation with Breakthrough T1D’s CEO, Aaron Kowalski:
Game Industry Friends: We Need Your Help!
Breakthrough T1D Play is unique in the charity space as a program founded and supported by people who work in the game industry and have personal connections to type 1 diabetes. If you’re part of that Venn diagram, we want to hear from you.
From donating game keys to our community streamers to participating in a Steam sale or Humble Bundle, from sponsoring a fundraiser to adding T1D representation to a game you’re working on, there are lots of ways for game developers and companies to get involved with Breakthrough T1D Play. We could even work together to create a bespoke fundraising event like Vintage vs. Type 1
Fill out our Game Developer & Publisher contact form to let us know about your T1D connection and share your ideas for getting involved. We’ll be in touch soon to continue the conversation.
