Case Study: Autism Science Foundation raises over $8,000 from MechWarrior livestream with CauseVox

MechWarrior Crowdfunds Over $8,000 for Autism Science Foundation

CauseVox helped turn a last‑minute, community‑driven livestream into a successful fundraiser. When MechWarrior streamer Rikki “Rik” Cabler set out to honor his late father by raising money for an autism charity, controversy over his original beneficiary left him scrambling less than a day before a planned 24‑hour livestream — he needed a new, reputable charity, a way to collect online donations, and fast promotion to keep the event on schedule.

Autism Science Foundation (ASF) and CauseVox stepped in: ASF confirmed as beneficiary and CauseVox launched a donation page within an hour, which ASF and the gaming community then promoted across social channels. The campaign galvanized influencers and the NGNG community, pushed fundraising goals twice, and raised $8,271 — funds ASF is using to award mini‑grants to researchers — inspiring plans for future charity livestreams.
