We kicked off the year with the United by Play Esports Battle for Charity Tournament at the HyperX arena at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on the 5th of January 2022. The virtual event brought together four professional esports teams, one collegiate team, dozens of content creators, streamers, and influencers. With each team representing a different charity, we raised over USD$40,000. All monies directly benefited the participating foundations - Starlight Children’s Foundation, 1,000 Dreams Fund, StackUp, Boys & Girls Clubs of Hollywood, Paws Your Game and LANFest. There was a total of 20 prize packages with a grand prize that included a custom gaming PC with NVIDIA 3080 graphics card, ViewSonic XG271QG gaming monitor, and Seagate Ironwolf 8TBHDD. The winning team, Paws Your Game, also received a trophy to celebrate the win.
