St. Jude has always been a favorite charity of mine. St. Jude PLAY LIVE on Tiltify lets gamers, Twitch streamers, and digital creators turn their passion for play into life-saving support for kids. By launching a campaign and going live, you help fund the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital mission: Finding cures. Saving children.®

A great example of this in action is my friend and Twitch creator Pepp3rPotts. By combining her love for the gaming community with a drive to help families in need, she has shown how any streamer can make a massive impact. You can see her efforts in real-time on her Twitch channel or support her cause directly through her Tiltify donation link. If you have an extra dollar or two, please visit her campaign page and donate.

What is St. Jude PLAY LIVE?

St. Jude PLAY LIVE is a global charity gaming program. It uses the Tiltify platform to allow anyone over 13 to host a charity stream. Whether you play video games, create art, or host talk shows, your content can raise money for childhood cancer research.

Every dollar helps ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food—because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Frequently asked questions: St. Jude PLAY LIVE and Tiltify

To get live donation alerts, go to your Tiltify dashboard and navigate to “Overlays.” You can customize your alert box and progress bar here. Copy the unique Overlay URL and add it as a Browser Source in your streaming software (like OBS or Streamlabs). This ensures that when someone like Pepp3rPotts gets a donation, a notification pops up instantly for the whole community to see.

Yes. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. When you donate via Tiltify, you will automatically receive a tax receipt via email. For those supporting a specific campaign—like the Pepp3rPotts fundraiser—the donation still goes directly to the hospital, ensuring it qualifies for a deduction to the full extent of the law.

St. Jude maintains a family-friendly environment. You should only stream games with an ESRB rating of Teen or lower. Content involving excessive gore, sexually explicit themes, or “Adults Only” (AO) ratings is strictly prohibited. If you aren’t sure, a good rule of thumb is to play something you would be comfortable showing to the patients and families at the hospital.

Absolutely. While many use Twitch or YouTube, you can also fundraise through “off-stream” activities like board game marathons, fitness challenges, or social media advocacy. Simply share your Tiltify link (e.g., tilt.fyi/tvIu1btkQc) on your social profiles to collect donations from friends and family.

Yes, the St. Jude PLAY LIVE chatbot is a powerful tool to automate your fundraiser. Once connected to your Twitch account, it can automatically post your donation link in chat, share facts about the hospital’s mission, and even list the most recent donors. This keeps the momentum going even while you are focused on your gameplay.

Using Tiltify helps prevent “chargeback” scams because the platform handles the transaction security directly. For your Twitch chat, it is best to have trusted moderators. You can also use the St. Jude Play Live Tools to filter or delay alerts, ensuring your stream remains a positive space for the cause.

There is no penalty for not hitting your goal. Every single dollar counts toward helping a child. St. Jude celebrates every effort, and you still keep any progress you’ve made toward unlocking prize tiers for the current season.
