Anyone planning a world record attempt? Want to do it live during our charity fundraiser telethon (May 23)?

TW: mentions abuse and CSAM

Hello, r/GuinnessWorldRecords! My name's Chris, and I'm the director of Operation Safe Escape. We're a 501c3 nonprofit that helps people escape and survive domestic violence, stalking and harassment, and human trafficking. We also have an additional program targeting and helping prosecute child sexual abuse material (CSAM) organizations and groups).

We're holding a telethon-style fundraising event on May 23. The event will raise funds that will 100% go towards our efforts to protect, train, and equip domestic violence shelters and safe houses and help build out our anti-CSAM program.

Much like the pre-internet telethons, we'll be hosting a variety of acts and performances intended to ground and entertain the viewers, and to keep the event from getting overwhelming for donors. While there will be serious moments and appeals, the overall tone of the event is to keep people watching while keeping the heavy topics to a minimum for maximum impact.

I was thinking that a world record attempt would be a good addition to the lineup. Anyone planning anything particularly interesting that we could include live (or pre-recorded if needed) for the event?
