CHARITY @ THE GATO
When it comes to giving back to the community or the world at large, a Gato’s generosity is hard to beat
For over five years, the Gato Pub community has actively raised funds for various charities through streaming events, stream teams, and impromptu initiatives when the need is urgent. We take pride in our daily philanthropic efforts and are especially honored to assist diverse communities worthy of support. The "Pirates Four Paws" event, which I initiated, focuses on sailing in the Sea of Thieves to aid animal charities such as the Maui Humane Society and Best Friends. Additionally, Gato Pub participates in the Fallout For Hope stream team to raise awareness and funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Our contributions have extended to Gamers Outreach, the Alzheimer's Association, and Special Effect through Gameblast, among others.
​
Our philanthropic commitment encompasses three major charity periods. In June, we dedicate a weekend to "Keeping the Seas Salty," supporting Oceana.org. During the first week of September, we launch "Pirates Four Paws," benefiting BestFriends.org - Save them All. In December, we conclude the year with the Fallout For Hope Stream Team, raising funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
​
Please refer to this page, the Tiltify page, or the Twitch stream schedule for opportunities to participate in fundraising activities for these commendable causes.
Beginning this February, the Gato Pub is proud to launch its “From Paw to Plate” charity campaign in support of Feeding America, kicking off with the Gato Pub Invitational Poker Event in Helvetia, West Virginia. By pairing friendly competition, good times, and a great cause, the Gato Pub is inviting friends and neighbors to come together and help fight hunger—one hand, one paw, and one plate at a time.
