As we come to the end of the spring semester and academic year, USC Trojan Esports takes a moment to reflect on the trials and tribulations caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic. In order to alleviate the financial impact it has had on the Los Angeles Community, USC Trojan Esports will be hosting a stream-a-thon to benefit low-income families, students, veterans, and people experiencing homelessness.
United We Game, a fundraising event presented by USC Trojan Esports will be underway on May 8, 2021. This 5-hour stream-athon will take place from 11:30 AM to 5 PM PST. Our goal is to raise $5,000 dollars in Twitch donations that will go directly to United Way of Greater Los Angele. The organization’s mission is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world to advance the common good through a focus on fighting for the health, education, and financial stability for every person in every community. The partnerships do not end there! Along with United Way of Greater Los Angeles, USC Trojan Esports will be collaborating on this event with Team Immortal’s Gaming Club, Electronic Arts, and Corsair.
We are so proud of the Trojan Family for overcoming a challenging year of remote education. This is our opportunity to celebrate the end of the year, while benefiting and serving the local Los Angeles community, through exciting prized activities.
