    About ‘You Can’:

    ‘You Can’ was founded in 2010 by Sony Foundation Australia to build specialised youth cancer centers for patients aged 15–25 to address low survival rates from lack of age-appropriate care. Since then, ‘You Can’ has opened centres in Melbourne and Perth where young people undergo treatment with peers, access specialised services and support while also getting to bond over video games and the latest tech from Sony. Fundraising efforts in Gaming4Life 2018 will go toward opening more centres throughout Australia.

    Sony Foundation’s CEO, Sophie Ryan says that the long-term aim of the ‘You Can’ program is to establish youth cancer centres across Australia.

    “Once you turn 16, the chances of surviving certain cancers is halved in Australia,” said Ryan. “Sony Foundation’s ‘You Can’ campaign is committed to changing this, but we need the community’s help. Twitch streamers are a socially conscious community and with ‘You Can’ being a youth related cause we hope that Gaming4Life 2018 will connect with the gaming community and engage them in our cause by supporting their favourite gamers and even uncovering some new upcoming gamers too.”

    “We are constantly moved by the passion of the Twitch community in making charity fundraising a staple on our platform,” said Lewis Mitchell, Partner Associate, Australia and New Zealand at Twitch. “To date, over $75 million USD has been raised by our streamers for worthwhile causes, so we are optimistic about our viewers rallying around Sony Foundation Australia’s meaningful charity event.”

    Visit the Gaming4Life hub https://tiltify.com/sony-foundation-australia/gaming4life-2018-kick-off and tune in to watch gamers and support youth cancer until February 19.

    Stay up to date with when Gaming4Life streams are happening via participating streamer Twitch and social channels and PlayStation Australia social channels.
