The Mineathon group consists of a range of young people working together to raise money for charity through play and collaboration. In the year before the event, they have busied themselves creating mini-games on an online Minecraft server! The community votes on a charity to benefit, and then Mineathon donates all proceeds from the event to the charity chosen by the community!

Minethon:

Our team of programmers, designers and advertisers have been working hard in preperation for the 24-hour charity live-stream in Summer 2015. Our minigames server will be open free-of-charge to the public to play with the map creators for the full 24 hours and 100% of the money receieved will be donated to a cause that is currently being voted for by the public.

So far, Minethon has raised over $20,000 for charities, and hopes to go even higher this year! As with many charity events, there will be activities, a livestream, and a whole lot more. If you're interested in knowing more, or have a specific question for the event planners, you can tweet to them directly with your question, or check out their site for more info!
