Dr. Daniel Reidenberg , an internationally recognized expert in suicide prevention from SAVE has been a key partner over the three-year relationship. "This is one of our most unique and fun events that really shows how people around the world can come together to save lives," said Dr. Reidenberg. Over the years, Dr. Reidenberg has personally watched many hours, day and night, of the event as well as helped support those who are playing by sharing uplifting comments, inspirational messages, and, importantly, helpful information on the work of SAVE throughout the event. Dr. Reidenberg has also helped educate all the participants on safe messaging and has provided useful tools that they can share with others during their hour and beyond. "Every time this event happens, I am amazed at the dedication, commitment and work it takes to pull this off by Artyom and the team," said Dr. Reidenberg.

On February 25, 2023 , at midnight PST , Save&Raid: Wastelands will kick off by playing this year's game, the original Fallout (1997). It promises to be a fun event, with great gameplay and commentary, many donation incentives, an interview with Dr. Reidenberg, a talkshow hour and much more! Matty Covey Lewis (ArtyomHavok), Twitch affiliate and founder of the event, shares his excitement about the third year:  "I'm really looking forward to this group of diverse content creators coming together to share their unique play style and format to this year's event in support of such a vital cause."

This year Save&Raid is excited to have a new website, saveandraid.org where information for the upcoming event, including how to participate or donate, and an archive of previous events, is hosted on this community-created hub.

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.
