The hot tub meta and how CallMeKevin used it for good

In recent events on Twitch, the hot tub meta has become a controversial topic in the community and has divided many streamers. While some believe that these streams are not age appropriate, others have no problems with streams of this nature. CallMeKevin took the opportunity to use this popular meta to host a fundraiser.

CallMeKevin had a goal of $10,000 with the "Hot Tub Charity Stream" video, but he and his community seriously exceeded that. In just three hours he raised over $43,000. This was a hugely successful event as he was not expecting to raise that much. In the past CallMeKevin has done other fundraisers and attempts to be as supportive of all communities as possible.

back at you kev <3 Thanks for putting this together and the hard work and bringing us together as a cult-er, community

Kevin had over 1,000 Euros worth of giveaways for his viewers and gave away raffles for every $250 raised. Viewers needed to just enter #giveaway in the chat box to be part of all the giveaways during the stream.
