About
Over the past year and a half, Kyle has spent part of his time doing charity events. "I feel like it is a great way to bring attention to different people's situations and be able to help out when possible," Kyle states. In total, he has done events for four, raising a total of $721.
When starting a new event, it is generally announced a few weeks in advance or a few days before, in case anyone would want to help out with the next one.
Transfiguring Adoption
In our month long November event with Transfiguring Adoption, Kyle had raised a total of $150.
Why This Charity:
As November is national adoption month and Kyle's family would be soon adopting one of their foster children, Kyle chose to do a charity for Transfiguring Adoption.
What they do is help adults who are foster and adoptive parents, professionals and educators to use movies, books, video games, and everyday play to help their foster and adoptive children to process past trauma they have had.

Gamers Outreach
Kyle has done three separate charity events for Gamers Outreach. The first one done solo, raising a total of $41. The Second time, it was done with eight content creators, including himself, raising a total of $210. The third time, even with some technical difficulties, ended up raising $110. Reaching a total of $361 raised for Gamers Outreach.
During his second charity event with Gamers Outreach, Kyle had set up different goals for specific amounts. For his goal at $100, he would dye his hair, which he had reached and stuck to his word for, ending up with dark blue hair temporarily.
Why This Charity:
Gamers Outreach helps to create gaming stations for hospitals around the world where volunteers can come in and play with the kids.
The reason as to why Kyle had chosen to do two charity events for Gamers Outreach is because while he had been hearing a lot about them and wanted to help support, Gamers Outreach has been the only charity to notice the campaign work he was doing to help. Not to mention that they work with Boston's children's hospital in Massachusetts, Kyle's home state.
