Z Event raises €5.7m for Amnesty International

France president Emmanuel Macron extended his gratitude via Twitter for such an amazing success.

This year, French streaming marathon Z Event managed to accumulate a record amount of donations – during a 3-day event streamers from France collected over 5,7 million euros for Amnesty International. The previous record was actually held by the 2019 edition of Z Event, which raised €3.5 million for the Pasteur Institute. Back then, it broke a record established by Bungie with its GuardianCon, which raised $3.7 million (€3.1m) in 2019.

All of the viewers were able to donate money or buy special event T-shirts to add to the cause.
