"As a YouTube community, we have to do something," Keem emphasized in a video 
he tweeted announcing his campaign. "I don't want this to be my charity 
[event], my thing. I want this to be our thing… Let's come together and do 
something to help Australia."

Fellow all-star content creators, Ninja and Mr. Beast, have shown their support 
for Keemstar and his campaign via Twitter. By promoting #StopTheFire across 
several social media platforms and asking fans to donate, Keemstar plans to 
raise $1 million for the volunteer firefighters who are making significant 
sacrifices in order to keep the people and wildlife of Australia safe. To 
donate to #StopTheFire benefitting the NSW Rural Fire Service, individuals can 
go to www.stopthefire.com and make a contribution. 

To support Keemstar, the charity streaming platform Softgiving created a 
landing page where Keemstar's community can donate, track the total amount 
raised, and view recent and top donors. 

"We're thrilled to be the fundraising platform of choice for Keemstar and his 
community," said Matt Pfaltzgraf, CEO of Softgiving. "We're excited to support 
him in his efforts to make a global impact." 

"Using Softgiving for Keemstar's campaign was a no-brainer given their easy 
setup, quick donation process, and 0% Platform Fee," said John Nelson, CEO of 
LFM Management.
