Cause Jam 25: Gamers know how to have fun

Helping Kids For Life®

Organized by Games For Love

The Cause Jam is a game jam with purpose—to make a lasting impact on the lives of children. By participating, you'll create games featured in charity bundles, sold to raise funds for supporting children in hospitals.

Games For Love is a nonprofit dedicated to easing suffering, saving lives, and creating sustainable futures for children. Since 2018, we've already positively impacted over 1.25 million children's lives across 3 countries, and we plan to reach 10 million children over the next 5 years.
