Fundraising for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

One selfie. One follow. One dollar.

Find me at an in-person meetup, take a selfie, and follow @AdamLowisz on X. I donate $1 to St. Jude for every pair. Or give directly — every dollar helps kids beat cancer.

The pledge

How a hallway photo becomes medicine.

St. Jude treats children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases — and families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. I give my creator check away one selfie at a time so more of that work gets funded.

  1. 01

    Find me in person

    I host X meetups, pop up at festivals, and take the sign to conventions like Fan Expo. Next dates always land on my X profile first.

  2. 02

    Selfie + follow

    Take a photo with me and follow @AdamLowisz on X. That’s the whole ask — no ticket, no pitch deck, just a picture and a follow.

  3. 03

    I donate $1

    Each selfie-and-follow becomes a dollar to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, paid from my creator payout. I round up. You can match it.

Campaigns

Newest first. The work is still going.

Every meetup below used the same pledge: a selfie, a follow, a dollar. Christmas was a party with tickets. All of it went to St. Jude.
