Brighten the day

A 24-hr charity event benefiting the Emory John’s Creek hospital NICU

November 8th

Brighten the Day is a 24-hour charity event featuring let’s plays of spooky video games and more in support of The Emory John’s Creek NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). This event is hosted on the birthday of Ian and Ellie’s son, Cillian Vincent, who was born at 27 weeks due to a sudden and severe onset of Pre-Eclampsia and HELLP syndrome.

NICUs in non-Children’s Hospitals are severely underfunded and underappreciated, so we are streaming to raise funds for Emory John’s Creek, where Cillian was born, and raise awareness for the needs of NICUs.

Recent studies have shown that pregnancy complications have skyrocketed during the pandemic, with little to no understanding of why. This means more babies heading to the NICU for a very long and difficult fight, for which some never make it home.

As November is also Prematurity Awareness Month, a condition that affects many kids, helping NICUs helps all manner of premature babies. In helping this hospital, we help the amazing nurses and doctors care for these tiny warriors.

Join us on November 8th from 8 am till 8 am the next day as we play Five Nights At Freddy's for the first time, My Friendly Neighborhood, Haunted House, Dead by Daylight, and more while chatting with friends and family and raising funds for this critically important cause.

THE PATH TO $10K

We are once again aiming to raise funds for new equipment for the Emory John’s Creek NICU and raise awareness of their work.
