SECOND STRING. FIRST SHOT.
OUR PLEDGE / OPEN ROSTER
2nd String Gaming is built for players who were underestimated, overlooked, or left waiting for their shot.
We are building an inclusive gaming community where every player can compete, connect, and belong.
2.4% OF YEARLY PROFIT SUPPORTS AUTISM RESEARCH.
Second string. First shot.
A channel for the next player up, run so that every player belongs on the roster.
2nd String Gaming, LLC pledges 2.4% of its yearly profit to neurodiversity-affirming autism research and to programs shaped by autistic people.
The amount is calculated on a completed fiscal year and then given away in three equal donations, one in each of the first three quarters of the following year. The fourth quarter is our planning quarter and carries no donation. Profit earned in 2026 is donated in Q1, Q2 and Q3 of 2027.
The recipient organisations are being chosen now and will be named here before the first donation is made. The shortlist is public:
The pledge is a commitment against annual profit, not a per-item donation — no single purchase generates a specific donation. Full terms are in the Terms of Use.
Package 01 is The Call-Up: an Xbox Series X 1TB with the disc drive, twelve months of Game Pass Ultimate, and Grand Theft Auto VI — approximate retail value $1,155.86, sponsored by 2nd String Gaming and nobody else. Entries come with merch, and the free mail-in path earns exactly the same entry.
ENTRIES OPEN 15 OCT 2026
GIVEAWAY DETAILSNo purchase necessary. A purchase will not increase the chances of winning. Void where prohibited. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and D.C., 18 or older.
