ZEvent Raises €32.9 Million in Final Edition

The Fondation de France will manage the fund and channel proceeds to 22 beneficiary charities.

Overview

  • Organizers closed the tenth and announced final ZEvent in the early hours of Monday with a final tally of €32,891,874, a record for the marathon.
  • More than 80 streamers on site and about 200 remote participants mobilized up to roughly 900,000 viewers and recorded some 1.7 million donations that averaged about €10 each.
  • The event combined mass micro-donations with high-value gifts and auctions, including tombolas and celebrity lots that pushed totals higher throughout the weekend.
  • Streamer Mastu raised over €5 million on his personal page, driven largely by a high-profile tombola offering items such as signed jerseys and film memorabilia.
  • The sum doubles last year’s total and will be distributed to 22 long-standing beneficiary associations, capping a decade of streamer-led fundraising that helped build a new generation of online donors and could boost other charity livestreams.
