Gamers Outreach’s hottest event of the summer, VTuber Summer Slam (VSS), is this month!
Our Talent Managers are still looking for VTubers, creators, streamers, and gamers to help make this our biggest VSS yet! If you’re looking to help, we’d love to have you on board!
What is VTuber Summer Slam?
VTuber Summer Slam is a virtual, multi-day charity fundraising event that’ll take place from June 19-28, 2026.
As opposed to the usual five days in the past VSS events, we’ve doubled it! Now over the course of 10 days, you can join us in support of our mission to bring video games to healthcare facilities for children all across the globe.
VSS Impact & Goal
At Gamers Outreach, we’re all about restoring a sense of joy to the lives of hospitalized children. We believe the world is better when kids can play. We live for bringing fun to everyone, and in turn, support a hospital’s ability to heal its patients.
So how does Gamers Outreach make this happen? Video games, of course! Our GO Karts have proven to have an undeniable impact in bringing a sense of normalcy to kids in hospitals.
This year, we’ve already shipped over 270 GO Karts, and we’re hoping your generosity during VSS can help us put the pedal to the metal!
Our existing global fleet stands at just over 2,800 GO Karts. These active GO Karts are estimated to have around 22,000 daily play sessions and over 8 million play sessions annually. Seeing those numbers go up every year only motivates us to continue spreading the heartwarming word, and your help would mean so much.
How Do I Get Involved?
VSS isn’t possible without the help of our community. Whether you’re around for all 10 days, or you only have a minute to donate a dollar, or a second share a social post… These are the ways in which you can support VSS!
Stream
As mentioned, our Talent Managers are currently looking for VTubers as well as creators, streamers, and gamers to help with VSS. If you’re interested in streaming, you can hop on our Discord server and inquire. We have several Talent Managers online ready to guide you!
There’s still plenty of time to join, even if you want to wait until the actual start of the event! You can have that flexibility. It’s all up to you. Even if you aren’t a VTuber, we’d absolutely love to have you.
Watch
Not the streaming type? No problem. You can always tune into your favorite participating VTubers or streamers’ channels, and help them reach their fundraising goals by donating on their stream pages.
You can find creators sharing their participation by searching the #VTuberSS2026 hashtag on X/Twitter, or by heading to our event page to see who’s online!
Support A VSS Team ☀️🐚🏖️, Or Donate Directly!
In addition to helping a streamer by donating to their channels while streaming for us, you can also donate to our Tiltify page directly!
Like last year, to add to the summer fun, streamers and creators have been separated into different teams. If your favorite creator is on #TeamSunny☀️, #TeamSandy🏖️, or #TeamShelly🐚, you can donate and support those teams individually.!
Showcase Your Summer Style!
Another way to support Gamers Outreach during VSS is by picking up Gamers Outreach merch on our store! Look good in our Limited Edition VTuber Summer Slam 2026 apparel, and feel good knowing your purchase supported the cause!
This year, we have a premium hoodie, a standard and cropped tanktops, a shirt, and some stickers.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone! Don’t sleep on these new summer threads!
What else can I look forward to during VSS?
Art Contest
For our community’s creatives, VSS is running it back with its exciting Art Contest! Winning selections will have their art featured on the donor cards that are funded in part by the proceeds generated for VSS. This is your opportunity to add your own touch of joy to new GO Karts making their way to children’s hospitals!
Last year’s entries really brought the heat!

Stay cool, and have fun!
Remember, everything that we do for VTuber Summer Slam and Gamers Outreach is for the benefit of children around the world. Whether you’re a VTuber or just your everyday content creator, whether you’re a part of #TeamSunny, #TeamShelly, or #TeamSandy, or whether you’re a rookie or veteran to our cause – we appreciate you and all that you do.
Let’s have some fun in the sun, bringing brightness to the kids!
