ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Two popular video game streamers are going to play Fortnite at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor to raise money for cancer research.
Brothers Tyler and Jonathan Blevins -- also known as “Ninja” and “BeardedBlevins” in the streaming world -- are heading to the Big House on Sept. 5.
They will host the “VictorsGO Live Family Fortnite Friday Charity Event,” streaming rounds of the popular battle royale game Fortnite, starting at 10 a.m.
“Been working on this for months,” Jonathan Blevins tweeted. “Gonna be amazing!”
“I’m HYPED to announce a special Family Fortnite Friday stream with my brother BeardedBlevins, live from the Big House on Thursday, Sept. 5,” Tyler Blevins tweeted. “We’re teaming up to raise money for cutting-edge cancer research at Michigan Medicine and the Rogel Cancer Center.”
The event will also have “some special guests and a few Big House surprises you won’t want to miss,” per the release.
The goal is to raise $1 for each seat in Michigan Stadium -- a total of $107,601.
