ALIVE to stream charity PPV with Jamaica's First Lady

ALIVE Podcast Network will stream its first pay-per-view event on June 21, 2026, to raise money for The Mustard Seed in Kingston, Jamaica, which supports more than 500 children. The launch also marks a new Washington, D.C., creator studio as ALIVE expands beyond podcasting into broader creator infrastructure.

Why it matters: - The pay-per-view event turns ALIVE’s streaming platform into a direct fundraising channel for children in Kingston, Jamaica. - Proceeds from the $14.99 subscription will support The Mustard Seed, which provides housing, care and critical services to more than 500 children living with HIV and severe disabilities. - The event also signals ALIVE’s push to pair content distribution with creator infrastructure and social impact.

What happened: - ALIVE Podcast Network announced it will exclusively stream “Powerful Women and Men Perform for Charity” on Sunday, June 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST. - The talent showcase will feature performances and appearances from Jamaica’s First Lady, members of the country’s political leadership and other changemakers. - Viewers can watch by downloading the ALIVE Media app and subscribing for $14.99. - The fundraiser benefits The Mustard Seed organization in Kingston, Jamaica.
