Dozens of YouTube stars will help us announce the Streamy nominees next week, but if you can’t wait to receive your collaborative-YouTuber-bonanza fix, What’s Trending has you covered. The popular online video news program will host the 1st annual Tube-A-Tweet-A-Thon Holiday Spectacular, a 20-hour live streaming charity telethon, and the list of special guests is a who’s who of online video celebs.
iJustine, Epic Meal Time, Daily Grace, Destorm, OlgaKay, GloZell, and Hannah Hart are among the plethora of YouTube notables who will appear at some point during the telethon. What’s Trending will stream the event from their channel starting tonight (December 13th) at 9 PM EST/6 PM PST. We’ve embedded the stream below, so feel free to check back here once the event begins.
The Tube-A-Tweet-A-Thon Holiday Spectacular aims to raise money for the Covenant House charity, which provides homeless shelters for youths all across the US. Viewers can donate by using the #Tubeathon hashtag at any point during the event; for each tweet, event sponsor Virgin Mobile will donate $1 to Covenant House (up to $50,000). Even if you can’t watch the telethon, taking a few seconds to send out a tweet will allow you to make an impact.
The full list of confirmed guests is an exhaustive one. Let’s take a deep breath and go through it together:
