Community Care in Action

Stream-a-Thon for Trans Health

The transformational support of tens of thousands of donors through Mercury Stardust's annual fundraiser is changing—and saving—trans lives.

About the fundraiser

Since 2022, Mercury Stardust, aka the Trans Handy Ma’am, has mobilized tens of thousands of donors and raised more than $5 million through the annual Stream-a-Thon for Trans Health—the largest and longest-running fundraiser of its kind.

In 2026, this loud, joy-filled celebration of community care marks its fifth anniversary. Together, we're helping thousands of trans people access essential, life-saving gender-affirming healthcare, and proving the extraordinary impact that’s possible when community shows up for one another.
