S4GS Streamathon (formerly The PlayFest) will return for its third edition this November. It is an annual international fundraising event that brings together digital entertainment enthusiasts, including streamers, gamers, esports players, content creators, cosplayers, performing artists, game developers, and more, in a 48-hour celebration.
The main goal of the event is to raise funds for the missions supported by S4GS. S4GS, or Streamers for Good Squads, is a collective of passionate creators from different countries who come together to offer their time and talents through livestreams for meaningful causes.
The group’s mission for 2026 is to raise funds to support children who are exposed to the severe risks of consuming “pagpag” or scrap meat on a daily basis. The funds raised will help provide weekly grocery packages for these families, including proper meat for nutritious meals.
S4GS Streamathon also partners with ChildHope Philippines, a long-standing non-profit organization that supports street children by providing meals, education, medical care, and other essential services. The event also aims to donate a portion of its proceeds to ChildHope’s initiative of sending more street children to formal schooling.
The Manila and Belgian on-site events will feature a variety of activities, including:
- Live streaming marathons on Twitch and other platforms
- Cross-border interactions and raids
- Friendly esports tournaments
- Featured interviews with exciting guests
- Live gameplay of new titles
- Live guest performances
- Retro and niche game showcases
- And many more
The organizers are inviting more online streamers and creators from different countries to join the adventure and be part of something meaningful.
S4GS Streamathon will take place on November 20–22, 2026 (Europe) and November 21–22, 2026 (Southeast Asia) and will be streamed live on Twitch.
