December 2nd will be this year's Charitable Rust event - mark your calendars!

For the third consecutive year, we're putting on a 12 hour live stream event to benefit charity. All the proceeds this year will go to Direct Relief. If you're not familiar, they help survivors of natural disasters and poverty in over 80 countries worldwide. With all the shit going on in the world (hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, etc.), I figured this was a fitting charity for this year.

Charitable Rust will take place on a custom event server with slews of giveaways and prizes, along with a full day of action including a Rust casino, carnival, parkour challenges, 3D maze, invasion gameplay, and much more.

We're looking for volunteers to participate in the event through raising awareness, streaming, and providing prizes to give away. If you are interested in participating, please go to charitablerust.com and fill out the participation form at the bottom fo the page.

Stay tuned over the coming weeks for more information on Charitable Rust 2017.
