You can see the shirt at the bottom of the link in this paragraph. If you have any questions or would like to be connected directly with The Trevor Project please reach out to charity@twitch.tv.
Showing your support as a viewer
Show your support for creators, earn exclusive emotes for yourself and your fellow community members, and contribute to Twitch’s donation to The Trevor Project with Pride MegaCheer! From June 4–30, you can MegaCheer by cheering with 200 or more Bits in any Affiliate or Partner channel in a single Cheer.
You’ll earn two of 20 exclusive Pride emotes for yourself and unlock a gift of an emote that other viewers in the channel will receive randomly. The larger the MegaCheer, the greater the number of people that will receive an emote gift. These exclusive emotes can only be used in the month of June 2019. Whenever you use a MegaCheer, we’ll donate $0.10 for every 200 Bits cheered to The Trevor Project, up to a total donation of $150,000.
The creators you support with your Cheers receive the same share of Bits. Twitch is making the donation based on the Bits viewer’s Cheer. Pride MegaCheer starts on June 4 at 11:00AM PT and ends on June 30 at 10:00PM PT. Got more questions? Your answers are here.

Twitch gets involved
Twitch HQ will be joining forces with our Amazon family by marching in San Francisco’s 49th pride parade celebration on June 30. Last year, we had the pleasure of also marching alongside LGBTQIA+ creators like ChipWhiteHouse, DistractedElf and KiwiFails. Look out for the special guests that will be marching with us this year on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
These same special guests will also be joining us of a special Pride edition of Twitch Weekly airing on June 28 at 1:00pm PT. Don’t miss the show at twitch.tv/twitch.
