A single evening of fundraising can make a difference in the lives of thousands of children, particularly when it helps provide access to education, mentorship and opportunities beyond the classroom. Actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s annual charity event in Los Angeles has achieved a new milestone, raising a record $9.75 million to support young people across the United States. The money will benefit After-School All-Stars, a non-profit organisation that works with children and young people through free after-school programmes.

The Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative reported the record-breaking fundraising achievement in an October 14, 2026, update, noting that the annual Arnold Schwarzenegger–Westime Charity Night brought together supporters for a cause close to the actor’s heart. After-School All-Stars also confirmed the achievement in an October 22 post on its official website, describing the event as its 13th annual charity night. The organisation said the funds would support its nationwide programmes, which serve nearly 150,000 students.
