ESA Nite celebrated the 23rd annual Foundation for the unification of fundraising for children on March 18, and raised $ 1.25 million. The funds collected will be supported by the institution's grants and scholarships for the next generation of games and charitable organizations with scientific programs, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM). The event also honored the riot games as it honored the hero award for 2025. Since its establishment in 1994, the ESA Foundation - which was created by the Games Industry Trade Programs Association - has gathered more than $ 23 million for a wide range of reasons that encourage creativity and talent development in the video game industry. This includes scholarships designated for future creators in the video game industry and those who follow Steam studies. The Foundation also supports non -profit organizations that enable students to build skills in the twenty -first century. "ESA is constantly inspired by young professionals who bring new views of the video game industry," said Esa Sue Madden, in a statement. "Our scholarship programs not only provide financial support, but they open new opportunities, promote guidance, and help students find the skills and confidence they need to make their fingerprints in the industry."
