This year is the 5th Annual Halo Omnithon event in support of Child’s Play Charity.

What is Omnithon you ask?

Omnithon is a group that does gaming marathons to raise money for charity. A gaming marathon is where we play through a game or series of games, and stream it online while collecting donations for a cause we support, which in our case is Child’s Play Charity, which brings entertainment and hope to those in children’s hospitals. We’ve raised over $10,000 dollars with our prior marathons, and hope to raise even more going forward.

You can read more about Omnithon here and be sure to tune in here on Twitch.
