Geeks4Hope: Raising Funds to Supply PPE to Front-Line Health Care Workers

Beginning, Friday, April 24, 2020 through May 1, 2020 – Geeks 4 HOPE  will focus the power of geekery and fandom to provide Personal Protection Equipment, training, and support to health care workers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. People can visit http://geeks4hope.com to watch the live streams and make donations.

The week will feature live-streamed interviews, discussions, performances, and more with authors, artists, and gamers hosted by the Worldbuilders staff. Donations are tax-deductible, and all proceeds will go to Project HOPE to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 for health care workers and in our communities. 

Many thanks to the Sirens, who kicked off our Fundraiser Friday night with a 2-hour Heist D&D adventure!

“So… the world is burning. We’re all scared. Every day is a struggle… and for me a huge part of that struggle is wishing I could do more to help than simply isolate myself and hoard canned goods. And I know I’m not alone: so many of my friends and colleagues in the geek community feel the same way. We all want to help, and we don’t know how….

“So I’ve been working with Worldbuilders to find a way to help. Something we can do *right now* to help support healthcare workers, flatten the curve, and keep people safe. And here’s what we’ve come up with: #geeks4hope.

I’m excited to give our community a way to come together and provide support for the people who need it most in places where they’re fighting the hardest.” 

-Patrick Rothfuss, Author & Founder of Worldbuilders
