Will Ferrell is Fighting Cancer Next Month by Playing Video Games

Will Ferrell is the funnyman from various television shows and movies, my personal favorite easily being Anchorman. Aside from being funny, he’s also not a fan of cancer – although I don’t think anyone is.

To help fight cancer and raise money towards a good cause – he’s going to play video games and stream them live via Twitch TV on October 26th. There’s a catch though – he’s only going to hold this event if fans raise at least $375,000 dollars.

The funding is happening through crowd-funding website Indiegogo, where his campaign has multiple reward tiers for various amounts of money. Most of the reward tiers under a hundred dollars even sound like something he’d suggest as a joke, like “Will Ferrell’s Gamer Sunscreen”, although the higher tiers have actual personal addressing from Will himself to the person donating.

If you donate at least $10 dollars, however, you’ll be entered into a contest where the winner(s?) will be chosen to play games live with Ferrell at the Twitch headquarters, in San Francisco.
