Charity organization Games Done Quick will be hosting Awesome Games Done Quick 2020 this weekend in Orlando, Florida. This year also marks the event’s 10 year anniversary.
Awesome Games Done Quick will feature over 130 games, tackled by the world’s most talented speedrunners over a week-long, 24-hour speedrunning marathon. The entire event will be broadcast live at the the official Games Done Quick Twitch channel. The event supports the Prevent Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to the early detection and prevention of cancer.
One hundred percent of donations go directly to the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Donations can be made during the event at GamesDoneQuick.com.
