Twitch Streamers from Texas-Based Esports Organization Raise Over $500,000 for Ukrainian Relief Efforts
Esports organization OTK, based in Austin, Texas, has successfully raised more than $500,000 to support relief efforts in Ukraine. The organization’s Twitch streamers came together for a charity stream, generating an impressive $133,000 in a single stream by offering major giveaways like OTK merch and a PlayStation 5. This stream contributed significantly to the overall funds collected for the Ukraine relief fund.
OTK Co-Founder Asmongold Breaks Fundraising Record
OTK co-founder Asmongold held his own charity stream, playing popular games like FromSoftware’s Elden Ring and Amazon’s latest MMO Lost Ark. In a nine-hour stream, Asmongold managed to raise a staggering $391,000, surpassing the stream’s initial goal. This charity stream marked Asmongold’s largest fundraising effort, despite having conducted several charity streams in the past.
Continuing Fundraising Efforts
The fundraising initiatives by OTK are ongoing, and donations can still be made through the OTK for Ukraine website, apart from the charity streams. All OTK streamers are actively contributing to CARES, an organization providing medical supplies and aid to children in Ukraine. The charity has even established shelters for individuals who are still in the country amidst the recent invasion by Russia.
