Z Event is the brainchild of Adrien Nougaret and Alexandre Dachary, who have been working on the idea since 2016. The first fundraiser raised around £150,000 for Save the Children. Last year that figure jumped to around £880,000 for Doctors Without Borders. But the Z event has recently reached new heights.

It was a big day for the French gaming community and even for the Pasteur Institute. Proceeds are used to research biology, microbiology, diseases and vaccines. It would be great if they could find a cure for “toxic” gamers.​
