Heroes for Kids is an annual streaming event organised by Gamers Giving Back to try and raise awareness and funds for World Child Cancer. They run for one week yearly, and have now raised over $8,000 for children with cancer across the world since 2019.

During this time, volunteer streamers from Gamers Giving Back will actively raise funds for World Child Cancer on their streams.
