Polish streamer Łatwogang breaks MrBeast’s record with charity livestream
Polish streamer Łatwogang breaks MrBeast’s record with charity livestream
Patryk “Łatwogang” Garkowski recently broadcast a nine-day stream that peaked at approximately 1.5 million viewers, and set the record for the largest charity livestream ever.
Łatwogang is a popular Polish streamer known for his viral challenges and collaborations with celebrities, which have earned him a loyal following. The streamer typically produces content that engages his fans while also having the chance of going viral. He primarily uses YouTube for his streaming needs, but has
millions of followers combined on the platforms he uses. The creator’s fans consistently tune in to watch Łatwogang’s new videos. Łatwogang has now outdone himself by
breaking the record for the most amount of money raised for charity in a livestream.
Łatwogang raised roughly €60 million for a cancer charity
The livestream started on April 17, with a clear intention of raising about €115,000 for Cancer Fighters Foundation, a children’s cancer charity. Łatwogang substantially exceeded the goal, reaching an
early milestone of €20 million, surpassing James “MrBeast” Donaldson’s TeamWater
Kick charity stream
record. Łatwogang set milestones and head-shaving challenges for the stream, after reaching the target donations throughout the stream.

Multiple influencers and celebrities reportedly shaved their heads in solidarity, as Łatwogang’s stream continued to raise donations. Actress Edyta Pazura may be the most notable, as she had pledged to shave her head at 50 million zloty, and it was her actor husband, Cezary Pazura, who was the one trimming her hair. Fashion blogger Maffashion appeared remotely during the livestream and shaved her head when the donations crossed 46.25 million złoty.
It hasn’t been confirmed whether Łatwogang’s stream has officially broken the Guinness World Record or not, but the streamer announced in his stream that they had surpassed the previous donations record. The stream continued to generate more funds, despite the already record-breaking donations.
By the time Łatwogang ended the stream, the stream had raised close to $68.9 million (€59 million),
all of which would go directly to the Cancer Fighters Foundation, with zero deductions.
Retired Counter-Strike pro player
Jarosław “pashaBiceps” Jarząbkowski
was one of the ones who donated. He reportedly
sold his iconic knife skin
for 76,500zł and donated all the money. Łatwogang’s massive donation amount left others in the dust, and the streamer stated that it showed off the unity of his viewers.
It remains to be seen how long it takes for another streamer to raise more money for charity and break Łatwogang’s record, but this event was just another reminder of the power that streamers have to do good.
