Family entertainment YouTubers Spy Ninjas have launched a Make-A-Wish campaign following one of the founders’ cancer diagnosis.
Vy Qwaint and Chad Wild Clay, the co-founders of Spy Ninjas, started Chad’s Wild Climb to educate kids on community and the importance of strong friendships.
“Make-A-Wish has been granting wishes for over 40 years, and it is always humbling to form new partnerships with the sole purpose of helping children reclaim a piece of their childhood back,” says Leslie Motter, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. “We are thankful to have Spy Ninjas’ aid in bringing more wishes to life because wishes give children the strength they need to fight their illnesses and have a better chance of recovering.”
The couple hopes to raise $100,000 between now and April 29 and started off the campaign with a $10,000 donation. Tiltify — a fundraising platform offering interactive, live experiences — is hosting Chad’s Wild Climb.
“We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to use our platform to support Make-A-Wish and make a child’s wish a reality,” Qwaint and Clay say. “This cause is so important to us, both personally and collectively as Spy Ninjas, and we’re glad to have a partner like Tiltify that is helping us engage with our audience to reach our goal.”
The fundraiser officially ends on April 29 — World Wish Day — at Spy Ninjas headquarters in Las Vegas. During the event, Qwaint and Clay will grant a kid’s wish, including a tour and private meet-and-greet. The couple will also debut a plaque for the top donor that will be installed on the new Spy Ninjas climbing wall.
