Monterrey, N.L., November 25, 2025. — Xignux Foundation, in collaboration with universities across Nuevo León and with the support of Xignux and its business units, hosted the fourth edition of the Gamer con Causa Tournament—an initiative that channels the talent of young gamers to benefit local civil society organizations.
Kicking off the final stage, Marcela Garza Herrera, President of Xignux Foundation, noted: “Gamer con Causa is more than a tournament that highlights gaming skills; it is a platform that supports civil society organizations that submit projects focused on nutrition and that create meaningful community impact. The tournament showcases the empathy of young gamers and their willingness to contribute to the extraordinary work being done in our community. It also reflects their commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—Zero Hunger and Good Health and Well-Being.”
This year, 34 students from Universidad de Monterrey, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Universidad Tecmilenio, and Universidad UERRE competed in the student division.
In the Energizer division, 72 participants from Viakable, Prolec, Qualtia, BYDSA, and Xignux Corporate Headquarters took part in the competition. All participants showcased their skills in Mario Kart.
The tournament consisted of two phases. In the virtual qualifying round, held on November 12, 13, and 15, twelve finalists were selected (six students and six Energizers). In the final round, held on November 23, each finalist represented a nonprofit organization in a live, in-person competition.
