This weekend, “Mercury & Jory’s Third Annual TikTok-A-Thon for Trans Healthcare,” a fundraiser conducted via a series of livestreams in Madison, will aim to raise $4 million for transgender health care, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
The fundraiser, which first launched in 2022, will be filmed this year at a Willy Street studio in three 10-hour livestreams. These will run from 2 p.m.–midnight on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, in part to recognize Sunday’s International Transgender Day of Visibility.
The fundraiser’s hosts are teaming up with nonprofit Point of Pride, which works to provide health care for people who are trans and/or nonbinary. The livestreams can be viewed on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch, and an opportunity to donate is available here.
Last year’s fundraiser raised over $2 million, with 55,000 donors and an average donation of $37. The largest donation was $2,500.
