The Texas-based gaming organization One True King successfully hosted a Lift-A-Thon, raising over $125,000 for charity. The event, held on Twitch, was another example of the power of live streaming to raise funds and do good.
At the Lift-A-Thon, members of OTK worked hard lifting weights for charity. With a goal of raising a pound for every dollar donated, the event quickly gained traction as spectators eagerly donated heaps of dollars to charity. The original goal of $100,000 was even surpassed, and the final donation totaled over $125,000.
OTK is committed to charity
Formed three years ago, One True King boasts an impressive roster of founding members including streamers Asmongold, Esfand, Tips Out and Mizkif. Despite some membership changes, with some people leaving and others joining, the group continues to thrive in its content creation.
This event is just one example of One True King’s commitment to giving back through charitable activities and co-streaming with the best game developers in the industry. Since its inception, the organization and its fans have raised over $1 million for various charities.

Lift-A-Thons and fitness events for a better world
One True King has a history of trying to make the world a better place and has recently added fitness events to its repertoire, the most notable example being Camp Knut.
This month-long fitness journey offered participants the opportunity to improve their health and fitness through a carefully designed exercise program and nutrition plan. Camp Knut was directed by Norwegian bodybuilder and streamer Knut, who helped a group of Texas residents achieve their health and fitness goals.
Use Twitch positively
The positive impact of fitness events on streamers is evident as it gives them a much-needed break from the stress of their online life while promoting overall well-being.
Mizkif agrees in his Tweet, admitting that Camp Knut is the “best thing that ever happened to him”, saving him from all the daily stress.
Camp Knut is the best thing that has ever happened to me. For the past year I’ve been stressed out of my mind all day and I felt myself drifting from my old self.
Knut saved me. And I’m so proud of the my friends/ the community getting involved, and using twitch for positivity.
