Meal-Morial Madness 2026 Wrap-up
Thanks to our wonderful donors, volunteers, and supporters, Meal-Morial Madness 2026 ended up raising $8,265.00 for Feeding America. Somewhere out there, thanks to our donors we’ve made a difference for someone struggling with food insecurity. The last few years have been rough, and 2026 is arguably worse than last year when it comes to food prices and gas prices.
This year was a milestone for 4Score7Pongs as we claimed the #1 Fundraising Team on Tiltify for Feeding America! This was years in the making, and we can claim we’re finally #1 (take that Jimmy Fallon).
Now it’s time for some stats.
- Campaign Donation Total: $8,265.00 – Down 16.3% from last year
- ~84 unique donors
- Median Donation Amount: $25.00
- Twitch
- ~250 unique viewers on Twitch
- 31 max viewers on Twitch
- ~45 unique chatters on Twitch
- We were the #1 streamer for many of our niche game titles
- 30 volunteers
- 5 new volunteers! (not a cult!)
- 4 Nintendo Switch 2s hooked up simultaneously
- 49 DVD corner hits in the overnight
- ~47 hours streaming continuous
- 2 baby network outages
We saw a tremendous increase in engagement on Twitch and our social accounts. Unfortunately that engagement did not have a correlation with our donors and donation total which was down. But as our founder stated in his 2026 State of the Pongs address, a focus in 2026 was on sustainability. We are committed to Meal-Morial Madness for the long haul which will have a larger impact than a record year any year. We didn’t get to be the #1 Fundraising Team on Tiltify because we were lucky, it’s because we know that the fight is never over, and that there’s always work to be done.
Thank you to everyone that donated, tuned in, shared the socials, or spread the word. We are genuinely humbled every year that people show up to support us and care as much as we do about helping those in need.If you missed the end of our broadcast, feel free to watch our credits video and a quick behind the scenes of everyone that made MMM2026 possible. (you might want to stick around to the end for … something)
We will be working on getting the VODs up and our prize winners notified soon. So please keep an eye on your inboxes.
Eternally grateful,

Meal-Morial Madness 2025 : Mission Complete
Six years! I cannot believe it’s been that long, but we’re still here because of events like this year. Every year we go in facing some amount of uncertainty about whether or not the event will be as successful as years past.
This year in particular, I think we are all facing higher prices and having to look at our budgets a bit closer. And those in need are hit harder than ever with funding cuts compounded with higher prices. But you showed up, and you helped many in need.
Every year we like to share statistics about the event. This year we raised $9,870.00 for Feeding America, making it our second-highest fundraiser.
- 286 individual donations
- Median donation amount of $20
- Up from $10 last year!
- ~87 donors
- Tiltify doesn’t distinguish between anonymous donations this year, so that’s a rough guesstimate based on username. There were 42 donations with no username or email, so the number is likely higher.
- 36+ games
- 69 unique chatters on Twitch (nice!)
- Our highest watch time on Twitch. Nearly 2x higher than it has ever been
- 28 volunteers
- 7 NEW volunteers
- <$7,000 away from taking the # 1 spot for Team Fundraiser on Tiltify (NEXT YEAR?!)
- Only 2 network issues where the stream went out for a bit
We’ve been asking for help early in the year every year, and we’re thrilled to say that we were able to add seven new volunteers to our team (and we hope they’ll be back next year!). We want this event to be a success for years to come, so we’re incredibly grateful for the support we receive. If you’re interested in helping out with the event, please follow us on social media, join our Discord server, or send us an email at events@4score7pongs.com. We (by we I mean Jess who rocked it by herself this year) really need some help with our social media next year, so if that sounds like something you’d be up for, please let us know!
Words cannot express my gratitude for everyone’s generosity for this event. It brings me hope that together we can make change for the better, at least one step at a time. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We will continue doing this as long as you keep showing up.
If you were unable to see who made this event possible, we’ve included our closing credits video here. Please enjoy. And we’ll see you next year.
And before you ask, we’ll get the VODs up in the coming weeks (or months) so you can watch any moments you missed. The prize team will be reaching out to winners soon.
Eternally Grateful,
Jared “jarbochov” Cherup -
