Jingle Jam has announced that its 2022 event has raised more than £3.4million for charity from over 85,000 donations.
The event, which took place from December 1 and ended December 15, rewarded donations over £35 with a games collection containing almost 90 games worth over £1,000. More than 300 community fundraisers signed up to stream on Twitch and raise funds for the event, as well as the official Jingle Jam Twitch stream on the Yogscast channel which ran at the same time and was organised and run entirely by volunteers.
Since Jingle Jam’s conception in 2011, the amount raised for charity has exceeded £22million thanks to the success of 2022’s event. “We’re absolutely delighted to have raised such a fantastic amount for our charity partners during this year’s event,” said Lewis Brindley, co-founder of The Yogscast and Jingle Jam trustee. “A huge thanks to the generous publishers, developers and partners who donated games and codes to this year’s collection.”
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
Together, we raised £3,448,212.40 for twelve incredibly deserving causes this #JingleJam2022. To our fundraisers, donors, developers, publishers, community and team: we are so appreciative of you!
What an incredible, unforgettable year! pic.twitter.com/CisLq1z4KL
