Overview

  • The trio extended their first Kick livestream beyond a $5 million target to chase the single-stream charity record.
  • They raised $12 million in about 18 hours, surpassing Z Event’s $11.97 million benchmark pending Guinness World Records confirmation.
  • High-profile donors, including Kick co-founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani and Airbnb’s Brian Chesky, each contributed at least $1 million.
  • Stunts such as snake challenges, lie detector tests and oil wrestling kept viewers engaged and spurred donations.
  • The haul advances TeamWater’s August goal of funding clean-water projects worldwide, with follow-up underway to process large pledges.
