Summer Games Done Quick 2020, Starts this weekend

This weekend, Games Done Quick – the beloved grassroots organization known for its speedrunning charity events – will host Summer Games Done Quick 2020 Online. The event, hosted exclusively on the official GDQ Twitch channel, kicks off Sunday, August 16, at 11:30 a.m. EDT and will run through the following Sunday, August 23. Streaming nonstop for seven days, it will feature speedrunners from all around the globe, taking on all their favorite (and sometimes most fiendishly difficult) titles for a great cause.

SGDQ 2020 Online will support Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières, a non-profit organization that delivers emergency medical aid worldwide to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from health care. Donations can be made directly to the charity during the event via the viewing page available at GamesDoneQuick.com. One hundred percent of all SGDQ 2020 Online donations go directly to Doctors Without Borders.

Since 2010, Games Done Quick has raised more than $26 million for charities around the world, including Doctors Without Borders, Prevent Cancer Foundation, AbleGamers, and Organization for Autism Research.

SGDQ 2020 Online will be broadcast live on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick.
