Charity Cup 3: Summer Time

(Image credit: SFM - Bishop, Compositing - Deputy7)

Summer is finally here! Time for snow cones, sunglasses, and a chaotic clash of content creators in a 9v9 Highlander aimed to raise money for charity!

The Charity Cup brings a whole new spin on what would otherwise be a standard competitive highlander event! Content creators around the TF2 community have banded together in the name of charity and to beat the crap out of each other for your amusement! When donating during the live event, you can affect the game in many silly ways that affect both teams and may sway the odds during the match!

The event will support Starlight Children's Foundation. Bringing happiness to seriously ill children and their families, Starlight supports kids and families at more than 800 children’s hospitals and other health facilities in the US. They bring gaming stations to kids stuck in hospital beds, hospital wear for families that otherwise couldn't afford to have them, and so much more.

Spread the word and tune in on the 29th and 30th of July, @ 12:00pm / 3:00pm EDT for this two-day event representing creators from NA and EU! The event will be hosted live on Deputy7's Twitch channel! More information about donating can be found here!
