First held in 2010, Games Done Quick is a biannual series of speedrunning marathons—Awesome and Summer—that raise money for charity. And we're not talking chump change here, either: The 2017 Summer Games Done Quick event brought in well over $1.7 million for Doctors Without Borders, while the January AGDQ event earned $2.2 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.   

Over this past weekend, the GDQ folks held a special event in support of victims of Hurricane Harvey, which deluged much of eastern Texas and has resulted in at least 66 deaths and untold billions of dollars in damage. Despite the short notice it too was a major success, wrapping up with $227,876.53.
