(playful theme music) – Welcome back. – It’s that time of year again y’all Project for Awesome time. Now you probably know, but Project for Awesome is a community-driven charity event put on by our friends John and Hank Green. Basically, people make YouTube videos to show support for their favorite charities, and people vonit, uh vonate, vote for their favorite. – Well that’s kinda what you do. – On the website, and there’s a live streaming event, we’ll get into all that, but the first part of this video is to highlight our chosen charity. – Yeah, we’re gonna participate like we do every year, and this year we’re doing one of our favorite charities, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, we’re giving them to aid in their efforts to research, treat, and ultimately defeat childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. And I’m gonna read a little bit about St. Jude, and why we like them so much. Their philosophy is that no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family’s ability to pay. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, because all the family should worry about in that situation is helping their child live. – Exactly. – St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states, from around the world, their goal is 100% survival. The treatments invented by St. Jude have helped to push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago. – And you know, as a parent, you start to experience things with your children that you can never anticipate. Like any type of boo-boo from the smallest age, you want to do everything you can to help ’em, and I mean I know that we’ve both been through things with our kids that are like, okay, stop the presses, we gotta do everything we can for our kids. If you have cancer, of if you have a child who has cancer, I mean it’s the type of thing that you don’t want to be thinking about, can I afford this? – Right. – You know, you don’t want to have to filter everything through that, so that’s the great thing about what St. Jude does that is extremely exciting, and effective, in terms of the way they’re moving the needle when it comes to childhood cancer and things like that. So it’s a tremendous organization, and you can to go StJude.org/Donate to donate. So join us in doing that, that’s step one. The second thing we want to move on to is send you over to ProjectForAwesome.com, you can check out, like I said, other people’s videos, you can vote for your favorite charity, you can make your own video, first of all. But when you vote for your favorite charities over there, the top 20 charities voted for by the community will receive a percentage of all of the money raised through Project for Awesome over the course of the live stream, and last year, – That could be a lot of money. – They raised two million dollars, so that is a lot of awesome that is happening. So find this video to vote for St. Jude as a part of Project for Awesome, as a part of their live stream, which starts today, December 15th at noon, and goes through noon eastern time this coming Sunday. – And of course, one of the parts of Project for Awesome is YouTubers like us donate some things that can be auctioned off, all for charity, and here’s what we’re going to be donating. And that’s some signed GMM posters, some signed GMM t-shirts, three full sets of the 21-badge mythical badge set that came out with the Book of Mythicality, and possibly, I can’t confirm it, it’s so limited that I cannot confirm it, I can’t even give you any details, – We are limited. – There’s a very, very limited edition item that may be a part of it. Boy, isn’t that tantalizing. – So that’s going to ProjectForAwesome.com to see the live stream and the stuff that you can bid on. In summary, again, the live stream is starting at noon today, that’s where you can see all of the stuff and get all the information. Donate to St. Jude at StJude.org/Donate, org.
