Your commitment to help conquer a disease that affects us all is an admirable one, but we know that raising the funds to get there doesn’t always feel easy. Especially when potential donors don’t know about Quest, The Princess Margaret, or the life-saving cancer research you are supporting by raising funds. Don’t worry, we’ve created a few tips and tools to help.
Getting started early and letting people know why you are streaming will go a long way towards hitting your goal. Join us on Discord to meet other Quest community members and reach players around the world!
