Defector R&D's recent initiative for Year 5 involved a Tip Jar drive aimed at funding subscriptions for underserved individuals. One participant had the unique opportunity to have Drew Magary cook for them, with the notable winner, Ross, capturing the experience on camera. The contributions to this drive allowed for approximately 400 subscriptions to be offered for free to students and others who cannot afford them. The article also expresses gratitude toward the supporters and the team involved in documenting this special event.
Last fall, Defector R&D announced another paradigm-disrupting plan for Year 5. We would once again run a Tip Jar drive to top off our Pay Forward A Subscription fund, but this time we'd give one lucky entrant the opportunity to have Drew Magary come cook them a meal.
Many thanks are due. First and foremost, thank you to everyone who contributed to the drive; we've now got ~400 comped subscriptions for students and others who can't afford one.
Your generosity is the reason we're able to do stuff like sponsoring subscriptions for all participants in last year's Extra Points Bowl.
Thank you to Chris Lockerman and Cara Friez for their work on the film; thanks also to Defector contributor Adam Charles Hart, who steered us in their direction.
