Polish streamer Patryk Garkowski sets Guinness World Record with $55 million raised in 9-day charity livestream

Patryk Garkowski, also known as Łatwogang, has finished a nine-day livestream that raised more than $55 million for children fighting cancer. The broadcast quickly became the biggest charity livestream ever. Viewers from all over the world joined in to watch, donate, and support the cause. The money will go to the Cancer Fighters Foundation, which helps children who are seriously ill.

The livestream started on April 17 with a very small goal. Garkowski first hoped to raise only a few hundred thousand złoty, but donations grew rapidly every day. By the end, the total crossed 203 million złoty, which is around $56 million. This massive result officially made it a Guinness World Record for the largest charity livestream fundraiser ever. It also passed earlier records set by other global creators and events, including the Z Event 2025.
