On November 4th I’ll be running another charity event to raise money for the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals via Extra-Life. I will be streaming on Twitch for 24 hours straight playing games with friends, family, and YOU.
Last year, you helped me raise over $9,660 for the children through this event. This year, more than ever, the children need our help. Click the donate button above and help us push past our goal of $10,000.
If you’re unable to donate, please watch the stream, say hello, chat, and encourage me when I’m completely exhausted at the 23 hour mark.
Who
Hey folks! I’m St. John (pronounced SinJin)
For the past 20 years or so, I’ve been spending quality time with my friends playing video games at LAN parties!
Whether they were 24 hours long or just till midnight, I loved hanging out with friends, gaming, and drinking some quality Mountain Dew (hence the gamer tag Caffeine).

LAN party at my office last year
Even after I graduated, got a job, got married, had kids, I still love to game. So to this day, I continue to help organize and fund LAN parties at my office with my friends and co-workers.
Gaming and LAN parties are such an important part of my life and have helped me grow into the person I am today. By raising money for the local Children’s Hospitals, I’m hoping to give these kids an opportunity to discover their own passions.
Come watch the stream and help me raise $10,000!
