Overview

  • The marathon stream on Kick raised about $12 million in 18 hours, surpassing the previous single-livestream record set by France’s Z Event in 2021.
  • OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain phoned in mid-event to pledge $1 million, instantly placing her among the campaign’s top donors.
  • High-profile contributions from figures like Ken Griffin and matching funds from Google and YouTube have driven TeamWater’s total into the high tens of millions.
  • Organizers say each dollar funds one person-year of clean water through solar-powered wells, gravity-fed pipelines and rainwater harvesting with partners such as WaterAid.
  • With two weeks left in August, TeamWater remains on track to hit its $40 million target and deploy funds to sustainable water infrastructure worldwide.
