The 5-Hour DJ Stream That Helped Deorro Raise $10K for a Cause

When Latin EDM star Deorro went live on Twitch for a five-hour marathon set, it wasn’t just about the music. Joined by friends like Kaskade, Dillon Francis, and more, the stream became a rallying point for the dance music community. By the end of the night, it had more than doubled its original goal, raising $10,887 in support of immigrant families through the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA).

A Night That Went Beyond the Music

Broadcast live from Los Angeles on August 12, 2025, the fundraiser united the EDM community in response to the recent wave of ICE raids across the United States. Deorro, a proud Mexican-American artist, has a personal connection to the cause, having witnessed the challenges faced by immigrant families in his own community. His decision to host the event came from a deep sense of responsibility to use his platform for something bigger than entertainment.

Originally aiming to raise $5,000, the stream exceeded expectations thanks to the support of fans and fellow artists. Every dollar raised is going directly to CHIRLA, a nonprofit that defends immigrant rights, advocates for fair policies, and offers legal aid and community support to those facing displacement, detention, or separation from loved ones.

A Fundraiser That Surpassed Expectations

While the original target was $5,000, the fundraiser ultimately brought in $10,887. Every dollar is being donated directly to CHIRLA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to defending immigrant rights, promoting fair policies, and providing legal aid and community support to those in need.

Deorro stated that music has always been a way to connect and bring people together, adding that unity is needed now more than ever. He expressed his gratitude to everyone who joined the cause and emphasized that when a community comes together, it can support those who need help the most.

Keeping the Momentum Alive

Although the livestream has ended, CHIRLA continues to work on the front lines by offering legal assistance, fighting for policy change, and providing resources to immigrant families. Those who wish to contribute can still make donations at www.chirla.org, where volunteer opportunities and support services are also available.

For Deorro, the success of the fundraiser showed how music can serve as a tool for connection and positive change. By turning a Twitch performance into a way to help immigrant communities, he demonstrated the power of the EDM community to rally for a cause that matters.
