The Runaway Guys Colosseum is an annual weekend long charity event that is live streamed over Twitch that supports Direct Relief which aids people around the world through crises and hardships. It is hosted on ProtonJon's Twitch channel, and individual videos are re-uploaded to TheRunawayGuys YouTube channel, similar to Stephen and Mal's Extra Life videos.
The event combines video games, music, art, and comedy. The Runaway Guys and friends go all out to raise money for charity. Be it comedic stream bumpers, video game modifier donation incentives, catching a rocking concert, or chilling out with some relaxing art time, there is something for everybody to watch and enjoy during the event.
Stephen and Mal joined in this event starting from the very first one, which was from May 4th, 2018 to May 6th, 2018, along with many other guests.
The name was later changed to Thrown Controllers Colosseum after the drama involving Emile in January 2024.
With the combined efforts of the community, event staff, and the performers, a total over $1,000,000 has been raised since the inception of the event.
