Our Game Over, T1D! fundraiser officially kicks off tomorrow — ten days of charity streams, hot sauce shots, and hype trains to raise $50k for type 1 diabetes research.
Numerous studies have proven that social media posts have a direct impact on donations.* That’s why we’re holding a social media contest to get the news out about our event. TL;DR: spread the word and you can win PRIZES!
What kind of prizes? So glad you asked…
Daily Prizes: Diablo IV Game Keys
Between August 18–27, we’ll give away TEN digital copies of Diablo IV for PC! A member of the Diablo development team who has a T1D connection helped us get these codes to one of the biggest RPGs of the year, and we’ll draw one winner each day until we’ve burned through them all.
Grand Prizes
On Monday, August 28, we’ll draw winners for three grand prizes:
- X Rocker Agility Junior Esports Gaming Chair. This chair is slightly smaller than the average gaming chair, making it perfect for all those aspiring streamers and esports stars out there. (US shipping only for this prize.)
- A Madden 24 game key for Xbox, PlayStation, or PC (winner’s choice). The latest installment in EA’s Madden NFL franchise comes out tomorrow, with FieldSENSE™ improvements and SAPIEN technology — not sure what those are, but they sound important — and, best of all (in our humble opinion), crossplay between platforms.
- A JDRF Game2Give prize pack that includes our comfy Season 4 hoodie (sizes S–XL), the adorable Season 5 sticker pack, and a coveted limited edition D20 die. (Worldwide shipping available.)
Like the Diablo IV codes, both the gaming chair and the Madden game key were secured for us by people with T1D connections within the companies. It has to be said: the JDRF Game2Give community really is the best.

*Don’t ask us to cite these studies. They’re out there somewhere. Probably.
**They’re still called “tweets,” right? No? We’ve been too busy prepping for Game Over, T1D to keep up with the lingo…
