Charity Drives & Events
Antler has hosted multiple charity events throughout our time on Twitch and YouTube, even back while we were still only focused on the GameHuntReviews Podcast. We have been under three brand names so far, starting with GameHuntReviews, then GameHuntGuild, and now ANTLER. We've supported charities benefiting the support for natural disaster recoveries, children's hospitals, covid-19 relief and support for families during the Holidays. Listed below are some of the event's we've hosted over time and we're so proud of our community for coming together to help support those in need!

Max Recovery Holiday Event 2022:
|
With 2022 coming to a close, it was charity time once again! This year for Max Recovery, we knew we wouldn't be able to host our usual livestreams due to our schedules. However, we wanted to offer our help in any way we could. Thinking hard on what we could do, we decided to do something very different this year.
This year, since we couldn't livestream with our fellow streamers, we decided to offer a give away copy of our game SOMNI on steam to every Max Recovery 2022 participant! Doing so gave streamers yet another game to play together with each other in order to provide content for their individual charity livestreams. We were happy to provide our game to our teammates supporting charity around the world together and Max Recovery raised yet another $6,900.00+ for charity this year from December 11th to December 17th, 2022! We were so glad to be a part of Max Recovery yet again, starting way back from 2019! |

Max Recovery Holiday Event 2021:
|
Another year had gone by so quickly! Shawn and Dan had moved residences twice and two large game projects in the works at the time had taken up the majority of any "free time" we had away from our regular jobs in 2021 (which was used for game development).
However, that didn't stop us from making time for a Holiday Charity Event! The moment our final residential move was settled and with the holidays quickly approaching we joined up with Max Recovery once again raising money for Covid-19 relief efforts via Direct Relief. From December 13th, 2021 to December 19th, 2021 the event brought together scores of streamers including us and was another huge success! Together with Max Recovery, we managed to raise over $19,000.00+ for charity within one week! We're so proud to be a third year participant in this event and we're looking forward to being a part of it in 2022 as well! |

Max Recovery Holiday Event 2020:
|
In 2019 we were asked to join a group of streamers in a charity event for Toys for Tots and that group was eventually named of Spare Frames. In 2020 the group name had been changed to Max Recovery and GameHuntGuild banded together with over 80 streamers to raise money for Covid-19 relief efforts by collecting donations for Direct Relief. From December 13th, 2020 to December 19th, 2020 the event was underway and was an astounding success! Together with Max Recovery, we managed to raise over $31,000.00 for charity within one week! We're so proud to be a part of this amazing event once again and we look forward to next year! There's already talk of a spring event for 2021.

Extra Life 2020:
|
With Extra Life Game Day 2019's GHG 24 Hour Livestream being such a huge success, we set out to reach an even higher goal! Together with our amazing community we managed to raise over $2,025.00 for our local children's hospital CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia). We're so proud of our amazing community and can't thank you enough! Keeping with a food based milestone theme, we made horrible smoothies every $100.00 milestone! They weren't very tasty, but that was the point! We're so happy we were able to reach our goal and can't wait to do Extra Life again next year!

Toys for Tots 2019:
|
At the end of 2019 a group of streamers, including GameHuntGuild, banded together to raise money for Toys for Tots under the name Spare Frames. Toys for Tots is a charity that raises money to provide low income families with toys for their children during the holidays. GHG along with Spare Frames, collectively raised over $11,075.00 over the course of one week! We are so proud of everyone in Spare Frames for making this event such a huge success and we are still so proud to have been a part of it! GHG is presently still in Spare Frames, and will be hosting more charity events with the streamers in the group going forward.

Extra Life 2019:
|
One year had passed since the previous Extra Life Campaign and during that time, our name had changed from GameHuntReviews to GameHuntGuild. On November 2nd, 2019 GHG went live for 24 hours, raising money for our local children's hospital, CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia). With a bit more experience from the previous years Extra Life Game Day, we planned our Extra Life 24 Hour Livestream more thoroughly. Each milestone point prompted us to perform an action, and this year's theme was horrible pizzas. One ingredient picked by the audience, one by us, and one at random. The stream was ultimately a brilliant success and our largest raised total ever! We blew past our original goal of $500.00 very quickly, and we saw our community pull together to raise the total to a whopping $1,050.00! We were speechless toward the end of the stream and things got really emotional for us as we thanked our amazing community for helping children in need!

Extra Life 2018:
|
We originally intended to do our first 24 hour Extra Life Livestream in 2017, however we learned of the event too late and donated $5.00 that year. The next year we were focused on making our first Extra Life Game Day 24 Hour Live Stream a success! On November 3rd, 2018, GameHuntReviews went live for 24 hours straight, raising money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. With an original goal set to $250.00, GHR raised a total of $326.34! This was one magical night for us, as not only did we complete our first 24 hour live stream, but we also helped raise money for a great cause.

Hurricane Harvey Relief 2017:
|
During the late summer/early fall of 2017, Hurricane Harvey Devastated the southern United States after it made landfall in Texas and Louisiana. We had nearly only begun our journey on YouTube at the time, but we wanted to do anything we could to help. GameHuntReviews ran a Charity stream for over 12 hours to raise money for Direct Relief, which was aiding victims and relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey. We were so happy to raise whatever we could for those in need, and this was our first ever charity livestream. GHR raised a total of $100.00 to support victims of Hurricane Harvey!
