Victoria Scott logged almost 15 straight hours playing 'Need for Speed: Underground,' raising US$43,000 to support trans kids in the southern U.S. — via drivingdotca LGBTQcommunity racinggame fundraiser LGBTQfamily
Building out her efforts around the now-classic, for the PlayStation 2, was a strategic decision, since Scott had completed the game six or seven times before, and “needed something I could half-pay attention to […] while keeping an eye out on the Patreon [fundraising site] and the stream.”
See, that familiarity meant Scott could basically play the game in her sleep—which she came close to doing a few times during the stream on her Twitch channel. To be fair, it took roughlyto beat the whole thing, from 900am PT to almost midnight on March 12. Support and visibility from popular Twitch streamers like @keffal meant about 5,600 people tuned in to watch; over 550 of them donated to the campaign, which raised a total of US$43,405.69.
I am still so overjoyed and full of love I’m just ecstatic. I’ll never ever forget yesterday and everyone’s solidarity and support for our community. I’m so happy and thankful. I could never repay my gratitude but I can take a Burt photo, and that’s something ❤️🏳️⚧️❤️🏳️⚧️
