Tell us a little about yourself and the content you create.

Hi! I'm Snaevo, or Snae for short. I'm 34, I'm a jack of all trades type Guardian, and enjoy just about all Destiny 2 content, both PvE and PvP (and yes, Gambit too). I stream on Twitch and post the occasional short video if the mood strikes. I've been playing games all my life, but Destiny has taken most of my focus in the last several years.

Why do support and fundraise for the Bungie Foundation?

I choose to support the Bungie Foundation because they have so many different causes that I connect with. Mental health, children's hospitals, disaster relief, supporting our veterans, and so much more. I see the Bungie Foundation helping so many good causes each year and it continues to be something I want to be a part of.

What does being a Lightkeeper mean to you?

Being a Lightkeeper to me is mostly just deciding to stand up and being active. Whether it's a community member or creator, coming together to support each other and the many initiatives happening each year.

Why do you think the Bungie Foundation’s mission resonates so strongly with the Destiny community?

I think the mission resonates with the Destiny community because there have been so many stories and examples of people being helped through the community's engagement. We see the impact we have had and continue to have, and that goes a long way.

What was your experience like as a player in last years' Seventh Column Chaos Tournament?

Besides getting knocked in the first round? But in all seriousness, I honestly had a lot of fun. The modifiers spiced things up and kept each round exciting. Definitely added some chaos. Coming together in the newly formed Bungie Foundation discord to work on our Tiltify campaigns and have some light-hearted trash talk was a great experience. I'm excited to see what sorts of things are in store this year!

If you could add one chaos modifier to this year’s tourney, what would it be?

This one's for Jarrod: Slappers Only.

How are you feeling heading into this year’s tournament?

Some of these teams are like the Avengers assembling, so that's pretty frightening (looking at you BFFs and Stranger Danger) but I'm excited to get with my team and get in the ring. The tournament itself is for fun, so I plan to have fun with it!

Any friendly rivalries we should know about?

Both of my previous teammates (Hugz and Djbj) are on new teams this year. So it would be interesting to have the chance to play against them this year. But my true rival is KleanPlays. He's the only person who does more dad jokes than me, so I have to show him up.

What's your favorite Destiny gaming moment?

Getting my first day 1 raid has always been a major high point in Destiny. Deep Stone Crypt was the first day 1 I ever attempted, and was so much fun figuring out while going in blind with my team. I still have nightmares of: "Status: CALAMITOUS"

What keeps you coming back to Destiny and its community year after year?

Mostly the world of Destiny. Even taking the short breaks I've needed to take here and there have always lead to me coming back. If nothing else, just to see where we have gone and where we will still go. It's been a major source of entertainment of mine and I'll be sad when it comes to an end.

Is there a particular focus of the Bungie Foundation’s work that you feel especially close to or passionate about?

Having had young family members who have directly benefitted from Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and St. Jude leads me to feel closest to the Little Lights mission. I've seen how stressful and scary the hospital can be for children, so anything that can help reduce those is massively important to me.

Any advice for someone thinking about joining a future fundraising campaign like Bungie Day?

Every bit helps. Whether you are top fundraiser, or just doing your part as a community member raising within your friends and family, every bit truly helps us as a community for the greater good. The best time to start giving back and doing your part is today.
