MrBeast Sets High-Stakes Debut on KICK to Fund Clean Water for Millions
Internet megastar MrBeast is taking his philanthropy and streaming to the next level, announcing his debut KICK livestream for Thursday, August 14, 2025, in support of his global #TeamWater initiative. Known for creating record-shattering videos and headline-making charity drives, MrBeast plans to stream nonstop until he raises $5 million — no matter how long it takes.
The #TeamWater campaign has set a $40 million fundraising goal to deliver clean drinking water to millions worldwide. In a powerful show of support, KICK — the Melbourne-based livestreaming giant — has already pledged $2 million toward the cause. Fans can watch the event at kick.com/mrbeast.
A Mission with Global Impact
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has made philanthropy a core part of his massive online presence, with previous initiatives funding environmental restoration, food bank drives, and housing projects. With #TeamWater, the creator is turning his attention to the global water crisis, aiming to make a tangible difference in communities where access to clean water is scarce.
“This isn’t just another stream,” MrBeast said in a statement. “It’s a mission to change millions of lives. I’ll be here until we hit $5 million — whether that takes five hours or five days.”
KICK’s Creator-First Push
Since its 2022 launch, KICK has rapidly become one of the most talked-about livestreaming platforms, reaching 67 million active users worldwide. The platform hit a new milestone in Q2 2025, surpassing 1 billion Hours Watched in a single quarter.
KICK’s creator-first model offers an unprecedented 95/5 subscription revenue split, far more generous than industry competitors. To date, the KICK Partner Program has paid out $81.9 million to creators. By aligning with MrBeast, the platform is positioning itself not just as a hub for gaming and entertainment, but as a place where creators can mobilize their audiences for global good.

The Power of a Persistent Stream
With MrBeast’s global reach and KICK’s surging growth, the August 14 stream could become one of the most-watched charity events in livestreaming history. The non-stop format, combined with real-time donation tracking and surprise challenges, is designed to keep viewers engaged for hours — or even days.
Fans and philanthropists alike will be able to contribute directly through integrated donation tools, with proceeds going to vetted water access projects worldwide.
If successful, this debut could mark the beginning of a new era of high-impact streaming, proving that platforms like KICK can be a force for both entertainment and social change.
Tune in on August 14, and be part of history in the making.
