Gamers Outreach’s hottest event of the summer, VTuber Summer Slam, is this month!
Our Talent Managers are hard at work looking for creators, streamers, gamers, and everything in between to help with what we hope is going to be the biggest VSS yet!
What is VTuber Summer Slam?
Much like the Gamers For Giving Streamathon this past spring, VTuber Summer Slam (VSS) is a virtual fundraising marathon that’ll take place from June 25-29, 2025.
In those five days, VTubers will join us from across the land, streaming far and wide, 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 and normalcy to the lives of hospitalized children. We believe the world is better when kids can play. When they play, they laugh. When they laugh, they smile. Every smile matters, and gamers have the power to help make more children smile.
So how does Gamers Outreach get those smiles? Video games, and our GO Karts have proven to have undeniable reach when it comes to connecting with hospitalized children and their families.
This year, we’ve already shipped over 200 GO Karts, and we’re hoping your activity during VSS can help us put the pedal to the metal.
Our existing global fleet stands at just over 2,600 GO Karts. These active GO Karts are estimated to have around 20,000 daily play sessions and over seven million play sessions annually. How much farther will you help us go this year?
How Do I Get Involved?
VSS isn’t possible without the help of our community, whether you have all week to help, or you only have a minute to donate a dollar or share a social post! These are the ways in which you can support VSS:
Stream
As mentioned, our Talent Managers are currently recruiting help to get creators, streamers, and gamers involved 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 help you!
There’s still plenty of time to join, even if you want to wait until the actual start of the event!
Watch
Not a creator? No problem. You can always tune into your favorite participating VTubers or streamers and help them reach their fundraising goals by donating to their streams.
You can find creators sharing their participation by searching the #VTuberSS2025 hashtag on X/Twitter, or by heading to our Tiltify 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 in those links provided!
Showcase Your Summer Style
Another way to support Gamers Outreach during VSS is by picking up some merch on our store! We’ve added brand new, Limited Edition VTuber Summer Slam 2025 apparel to the lineup, so you can look fashionably generous all summer!
Once they’re gone, they’re gone so don’t sleep on these cool summer threads!
What else can I look forward to during VSS?
Art Contest
To further foster the creative minds in our community, we’re once again having an Art Contest during VSS. Winning selections will have their art featured on the donor carts 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!
But wait, there’s more! We have some amazing prizes from our event sponsors up for grabs as well, so don’t be afraid to enter!
Some of the most awesome art from VSS 2024!

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!
