SGDQ 2025 Achieves $2.4 Million Fundraising Milestone for Doctors Without Borders

The annual summer gaming marathon concluded with remarkable success, as Summer Games Done Quick secured $2,436,614 to aid Doctors Without Borders. The event took place in Minneapolis, and was bolstered by 37,776 individual contributions, the most significant of which was $61,200.

In-Person Events and Electrifying Crowds

This year, a live audience of 2,600 experienced the adrenaline of a frantic relay contest. Two groups of four competitors raced to finish a Super Mario Maker 2 stage and the entire Donkey Kong Jungle Beat game within an hour, all while utilizing the innovative DK Bongos controllers. The energy of the crowd significantly enhanced the ambiance, notably during the AEW Fight Forever run, which concluded in roughly 40 minutes.

Future Events and Streaming Availability

For those who missed the live action, GamesDoneQuick provides access to all recorded runs on their Twitch channel. Looking ahead, their upcoming event, Flame Fatales, is slated for September 7 through 14 and will highlight female and non-binary speedrunners. Following this, GamesDoneQuick is set to introduce their inaugural Games Done Queer event from October 31 to November 2.
