Job description
About Sunrise & Sunrise Streams
Sunrise is a nonprofit dedicated to providing transformative camp experiences for children affected by cancer. Every fundraising dollar we raise goes directly toward making camp accessible to more kids. Sunrise Streams is our gaming and esports fundraising initiative, turning everyday gamers and content creators into advocates and fundraisers for camp through charity streams, competitive tournaments, and a growing digital community. We’re launching at the end of summer 2026, and we hope you play a major part in that.
The Role
The Donor Relations & Outreach Specialist is the connective voice between Sunrise Streams and the people who make the magic happen - streamers, donors, tournament participants, and our broader online community. You’ll plan, draft, schedule, and maintain the outreach and content channels that keep our network informed, engaged, and inspired to give. Discord, our blog, streamer outreach, and community news updates.
You’ll report to the Marketing & Community Relations Leads and the Streams Director. This is a role for someone who writes well, plans and projects timelines well, and genuinely enjoys building relationships online. If you’re plugged into gaming culture and want your work to matter, this is a great fit.
