Do you reckon you know your Marvel super heroes and the universe they populate? Then this could be the fun fundraiser for you!<\/p>\n

A Kingaroy IT expert – better known online by his\u00a0gamertag “SparhawkGames” – is hosting a special trivia night online on Thursday (August 26) as part of a campaign to raise funds for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.<\/p>\n

Damian Nicholson works full-time but has been raising funds for various charities for almost two years while streaming video games on his Twitch channel.<\/p>\n

His latest project is to assist Starlight, a charity which supports seriously ill children by providing activities in hospitals as well as granting Starlight “wishes”.<\/p>\n

Damian is one of Starlight’s 2021 “GameChangers”, a fundraiser being promoted by EB Games.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hundreds of gamers across Australia are taking part.<\/p>\n

Influencers and creators on other platforms, including TikTok, Facebook and YouTube, are also raising funds.<\/p>\n

All up, the charity is hoping to raise at least $400,000 from the various online promotions.<\/p>\n

Damian has 1200 followers on his Twitch account whom he has been encouraging to donate to Starlight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He has set a modest fundraising targeting of $500 and is is almost two-thirds of the way there.<\/p>\n

His latest effort is the online trivia night on Thursday which will test people’s knowledge about the Marvel universe.<\/p>\n

It will run from 10:00pm on Twitch and Starlight representatives will also be taking part.<\/p>\n

It’s free – and no registration is needed – but throughout the night Damian will be reminding participants about donating money to Starlight.<\/p>\n

All donations will be made directly to the Starlight Children’s Foundation Stream Raisers appeal.<\/p>\n
