Logitech Celebrates International Women’s Day with 24-Hour Gaming Stream and Fundraiser
Over the last few years, the gaming world has taken strides towards transforming its industry into one that is more inclusive of women. The ongoing journey towards equality for women in gaming is a subject that is frequently discussed and also celebrated. At Logitech we have a shared belief that life is more fun when you play, and that is the reason why Logitech Gaming exists; we want everyone to be able to share in that fun equally.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, we want to acknowledge the women who contributed to gaming. Some of our favorite games have women at the helm, and many women are involved in creating the amazing technology used to play these great games.
As a part of this celebration, Logitech, Logitech G, ASTRO Gaming and Blue Microphones will host a 24-hour, multi-city live stream on March 7 and 8 to raise funds for charity: water. Their goal is to bring clean and safe drinking water to developing countries improving health, education and opportunity – especially for women and children, who spend up to 40 billion hours a year walking to collect clean water. It’s our goal to help improve the quality of life for women globally.
The stream will be shared on Logitech G’s Twitch Page and on TILTIFY and will feature female gamers and Logitech employees around the world. People will be able to donate money to the foundation during the live stream, and Logitech will match the first $15,000 donated.
Please join us for this one-of-a-kind event. Help us celebrate diversity and donate to a worthy cause. As little as a $30 donation will bring clean water to an individual for an entire year. And if we hit our $30,000 goal, we’ll be able to bring three full communities clean water!
