ZEvent

The ZEvent was a francophone charity project created by Adrien Nougaret and Alexandre Dachary (respectively known under the pseudonyms ZeratoR and Dach) whose goal was to bring together French streamers to collect donations that will support a charity. It was hosted on the Twitch streaming platform. The first edition took place in 2016 under the name Project Avengers. The event is in the benefit, successively, of Save the Children, the French Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières, the Pasteur Institute, Amnesty International, and Action Against Hunger. The format evolved beginning with the 2022 edition, which supported four organizations dedicated to environmental protection: Sea Shepherd France, the League for the Protection of Birds, WWF France, and The SeaCleaners. After a pause in 2023, the 2024 edition shifted its focus to five associations fighting against poverty—Secours populaire français, Cop1 – Solidarités Étudiantes, Les Bureaux du Cœur, Solidarité Paysans, and Chapitre 2. It was marked by a sharp increase in participation, most of it online. In 2025, the event broadened its scope once again, benefiting eight associations working to support patients and their caregivers: the French Association of Caregivers, Helebor, the National League Against Cancer, Nightline, Le Rire Médecin, Sourire à la Vie, L’Envol, and Sparadrap. ZEvent holds the world record for the most money ever raised by a charity event on Twitch. During the 2026 and final edition, ZEvent raised almost €33 million (around $38 million), a world record on Twitch. In total, between 2016 and 2026, these events raised more than €89.5 million.
