Fans are eager to play games with Twitch star Pokimane, raising thousands of dollars in CDawgVA’s charity auction.
Popular Twitch streamer YouTuber CDawgVA, real name Connor Colquhoun, is once again hosting his annual charity auction, this time with a prize that has already raised thousands of dollars.
While his auctions are known for the unusual items for sale, this auction is specifically focused on Twitch’s most followed woman: Pokimane.
As per the listing on Tiltify, fans can bid for the chance to win a “gaming session with Pokimane.” At the time of publishing on July 15, 2024, the highest bid had already reached a staggering $500,000.
TiltAmong the highest bidders are people with usernames like StableRonaldo and “Morgp,” though it’s unclear whether these are the actual Twitch streamers or someone posing as them (Ronaldo did joke about bidding in a humorous tweet).
Pokimane commented on the auction in a post on Twitter/X, joking that this is the “only time you can pay to play with me lmao.”
Connor also issued a brief statement about the listing, saying he’s “scared to see how much this will fetch.”
Pokimane responded by jokingly citing the description of the offer, which promised the winner an “unforgettable experience” with her.
“share an unforgettable experience”???? 🤨

When the bids reached $500,000, both Pokimane and CDawg were shocked that the bid had increased so far and so quickly.
“Wtf is going on,” she wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories. “The donations were capped so I don’t know if this is real or what.”

This is far from the strangest item CDawg has ever auctioned off at its charity events. In the past, bidders could win a painting of YouTube star PewDiePie and even a one-on-one hangout with VTuber IronMouse.
Pokimane is the latest Twitch star to donate his time to a good cause in CDawg’s charitable efforts. This year’s charity auction is donating proceeds to the Immune Deficiency Foundation, which provides “resources, education, and support” to patients diagnosed with primary immunodeficiency.
Last year, CDawg and his friends raised over $329,000 for the Immune Deficiency Foundation and $14,000 for Make-A-Wish America, an organization that brings joy to children with terminal illnesses.
Connor is known for his many charity projects, including his cyclethon, where he cycles across Japan with a group of other influencer friends to raise money for charity.
CDawg’s charity auction will go live on his Twitch channel on July 19. He’ll host the auction from the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, where the big winners will be announced and the final amount of money raised.
