Games Done Quick is a series of charity video game marathons. These events feature high-level gameplay by speedrunners raising money for charity. Games Done Quick has teamed up with several charities in its nine-year history, including Doctors Without Borders and the Prevent Cancer Foundation. We are currently the largest fundraising event globally for both charities!
AGDQ is an annual speedrunning marathon streamed live on Twitch over the course of 1 week to raise money for charity. Donations for this year’s event will go to the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
