Benefitting
For anyone new to the concept of the 72hr Jam, the 72hr Jam is a yearly
TF2Maps tradition where the community dedicates 3 days of their time to
producing cool content themed around Team Fortress
2! This includes
maps, models, warpaints, animations, videos, paintings, drawings, mods,
fan-fiction, woodwork, stonework, legwork, homework, and everything
else in-between so long as it's related to Team Fortress 2!
This year, we're partnering with Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans
Frontieres.
Doctors Without Borders is an independent medical humanitarian organization
that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics,
malnutrition, natural disasters, and exclusion from health care, without regard
to race, religion, or political affiliation. On any given day, in over 72 countries,
more than 45,200 individuals representing dozens of nationalities assist people
caught in crises around the world. They are doctors, nurses, logistics experts,
administrators, epidemiologists, laboratory technicians, mental health
professionals, and others whose work is guided by humanitarian principles
and medical ethics. MSF medical teams conduct evaluations on the ground
to determine a population's medical needs before opening programs,
aiming to fill existing gaps (rather than replicating services that are already
offered) or reach neglected communities.
As always, you are able to recieve a medal simply by participating in the Jam!
All you need to do is create some TF2-related content within 72 hours, and
submit it to the 72hr Jam category on TF2Maps.net, and you should recieve
your medal in roughly 4-6 weeks following the end of the event!
As a bonus for donating to the
campaign, you'll receive an in-game medal
if you donate at least 5$ (Items count too) before August 1st, 2022!
Although you won't be able to recieve a medal by donating after this date,
our charity drive this year is open until August 26th, 2022.
Additionally, we will be providing other donation incentives for the duration
of our livestreams, so be sure to tune in and check that out!
