The Heroes Charity Brawl will be the second live-streamed charity event, raising money to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation and featuring hosts from all our favorite community podcasts!
A good cause
With help from Blizzard and community members like you, Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children who have life-threatening medical conditions, enriching their human experience with hope, strength, and joy.
The Heroes Charity Brawl raised $2,801 dollars last year and the goal is to raise even more this year, showing that the Heroes of the Storm gaming community is not only one of the best gaming communities, but truly one of the most generous as well!

What to get hyped about
If you missed the first Heroes Charity Brawl, this won’t be your average tournament. The organizers are keeping most of the details a surprise but here’s what you can expect.
- No matches will be played standard. Every map will have some crazy new rule set, done in the name of entertainment.
- Sandbox mode is now on the table to construct all sorts of crazy game situations.
- There will be giveaways and prizes!
- The event has already raised $1,025 of their $3,230 meme goal.
- There’s a chance some top donators will get to play in the Brawl.
- The newest iteration of the Nexeopardy, Core’s insanely funny version of Jeopardy for the Nexus, will be showcased!
Why be a part?
If you’ve ever been unhappy with your game experience or you’ve been playing alone, you owe it to yourself to get involved with the community around these podcasts. There are tons of great people in the community. Heroes can be more than a competition. After all, what is winning without recognition?
Maybe you can give money or maybe you can't. Just by showing up, you’re telling the world that you value bringing fun with hope, strength, and joy to others. There are many kids who just wish they could be a hero with powers. Just think, we get to play as super heroes for free every day.
Just listen to Kevin's wish
We'll be having a good time playing the game and celebrating awesome folks who donate for a good cause. How about you?
"Stay-tight" and we'll see you at the Heroes Charity Brawl!
