The Nexus Hub, in collaboration with select partners, has announced the CREATORS UNITED initiative. This event brings together streamers, vloggers, YouTubers, writers and influencers, donating their time and skills all in aid of raising funds for charity. This is done through a 24-hour non-stop livestream event, starting 27 July and running through to 28 July 2019.

The selected charity for the event is the Abraham Kriel Bambanani Children's Non-Profit, with the theme being superheroes. Content creators taking part in the event will be using their own platforms, be it on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch or others, to raise funds and garner donations from their respective audiences.

There is also a 24-hour streamer challenge whereby select local content creators try stream for the full twenty-four hour event as a donation challenge.

Furthermore, the Nexus Hub in Randburg will hosts a 24 hour Live Stream on their channel with various content and persistent engagement for viewers to participate and donate to the charity. Activities include:

• Interviews with brands and sponsors.
• Interviews with the charity.
• Workshops and discussions with the content creators.
• Fun activities and on-air challenges for audience engagement and donation target drives.
• Pre-produced content featuring the brands and the influencers involved.
• Pre-produced content featuring the charity, objectives and people involved in making these sorts of organisations succeed.
