Summer Games Done Quick 2025Jul 6, 2025 - Jul 13, 2025
What is Games Done Quick?
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!
To date, Games Done Quick has raised over 50 million dollars for charity. We also average over 3000 people in attendance at our events, including staff, volunteers, runners, and attendees just looking to have fun and support the event!

Benefiting Doctors Without Borders
Every single day, Doctors Without Borders emergency medical teams—made up of nearly 63,000 doctors, nurses, logisticians, and other experts—are delivering lifesaving medical care in more than 70 countries. These teams do whatever it takes to reach those most in need.
They can perform surgeries in the middle of war zones, vaccinate children in the aftermath of an earthquake, and deliver care in the most remote areas of the world using specialized mobile clinics. They are fiercely independent, but the only way they’re able to do this lifesaving work is with the support of people like us.
