Back in January, the Awesome Games Done Quick event managed to raise over $2.75 million for Prevent Cancer Foundation. Their next event, Summer Games Done Quick, took place throughout last week and the team has revealed they managed to raise a similar figure this time; more than $2.9 million pledged by their supporters will be heading towards Médecins Sans Frontières, otherwise known as Doctors Without Borders.
A total of 153 speedruns took place between July 4-11. Between them, they managed to raise a total of $2,909,764.35 from 40,359 donors at the time of writing; one person donated over $250,000 towards the worthy cause. While the event is now over, viewers can still donate through the Games Done Quick website towards that impressive total. The grateful recipient, Doctors Without Borders, is a team of volunteer doctors and health sector workers that travel to areas where medical aid is needed the most, such as natural disasters or war zones.
