Our Ambassadors
Working together is the only way we’re going to find a cure for cancer, and we’re very fortunate to have the support of some incredible Ambassadors who have stepped up to officially stand beside us in our mission.
Skill Up
“Every day we see the effects of cancer on those around us. Sometimes we feel its effects on those closest to us. The fight feels endless and it shouldn’t be that way. That’s what drew me to Game on Cancer. I like the idea of researchers trying to end the fight once and for all. That’s why I’m so proud to support the work that Game On Cancer is doing”
Jeff Cannata
Jeff Cannata is creator of some of the internet’s most enduring programming, including the Webby Award winning variety series Totally Rad Show, the Podcast Award winning science podcast We Have Concerns, and the wildly popular pop culture shows, DLC, Dungeon Run, The Filmcast, among many others. He’s worked on ABC, CBS, NBC, Hulu, G4TV, CNET, and has garnered a passionate fanbase drawn to his infectious positivity.
“As someone who believes strongly in science education and making the world a better place, I’m proud to be an Ambassador for Game On Cancer®. I’ve long known the gaming community to be incredibly generous and supportive, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to share Game On Cancer®’s mission with my audience.”
Miss Molly Makes
Miss Molly Makes is one of only a few Aussie dedicated cooking channels on Twitch, co-created and ran by Molly and Exceede. They are passionate about removing the barriers of entry into the kitchen and supporting everyone to get making! Pull up a chair and share in the food love as they make delicious home-style food and recreations of food items from games, movies & cuisines.
Working with Game on Cancer gives us the confidence to fundraise in support of cancer research indiscriminately. When considering charities to align with in the past, we’ve been concerned that by supporting one with a more individual focus, it’s seen as not supporting others that we also care about. With Game on Cancer’s transparency about where the community’s money is going, we can fundraise proudly to help make so many lives so much better.
Back Pocket
If you’re a fan of video games and you live in Australia, then you’re likely very familiar with the Back Pocket team already. With decades of combined gaming, production and live broadcast experience Gus, Pete & Steph have been pillars of the video game community down under (and beyond) for what feels like forever! Follow them below and see why we’re stoked to have them on board as Game On Cancer® Ambassadors!
“As part of the gaming community, we face challenges in games but nothing like the challenge thousands of Australians faces every day. Back Pocket is proud to be a Game On Cancer® Ambassador and help fund this invaluable research in Australia.”

I'm so proud to be a Game on Cancer Ambassador, I absolutely love their initiative to provide funds to early-career researchers who work across all cancer types; it's all-inclusive, like raising funds! When we work together, we can move mountains and something that I am shown time and time again, it's that the Gaming Community is a force of nature. Each time I think the community has peaked in their ability to support, they continually break records. Imagine how incredible it will feel to be a part of the community that raised the funds to help find the cure for cancer.
