About
Edwin Castro, known online as Castro1021, is a Mexican American creator whose broadcasts combine FIFA gameplay with football and charity fundraising. He has used marathon gaming sessions to support cancer charities and disability organisations.[1][2]
Marathon fundraisers
His broadcasts in 2015 featured FIFA 15 on PlayStation 4. By June 2015, Castro had organised four charity streams. The first was a 30-hour session that raised just over $4,000. Further broadcasts supported Whizz-Kidz and Make-A-Wish, including a 62-hour stream and a holiday-themed 50-hour event. Over Memorial Day weekend in 2015, another 50-hour broadcast raised more than $80,000. Of that, $44,500 went to Macmillan Cancer Support and $40,000 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He contributed nearly $10,000 himself and donated the stream's subscription and advertising revenue.[2]
On the football pitch
On September 24, 2022, Castro played for the YouTube All Stars against Sidemen FC in their charity match at Charlton Athletic's stadium. His second-half goal put the All Stars ahead 5-4. Sidemen FC eventually won 8-7. Simon Minter completed his hat-trick with the winning goal in the 88th minute.[3][4]
