Thousands of gamers are converging in-person to set speedrun records to raise funds for MSF!
From June 30 - July 7, hundreds of thousands of gamers from around the world are tuning into Twitch to watch video game speedrunners set records while raising funds and awareness for humanitarian medical aid.
Games Done Quick is a series of charity video game marathons, featuring high-level gameplay by speedrunners raising money for charity. Summer Games Done Quick is held every summer in partnership with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières. This year, SGDQ will be held in-person and online, 24 hours a day, from June 30 – July 7 at gamesdonequick.com.

We are grateful to all SGDQ 2024 corporate sponsors. To learn more about how your company can support Doctors Without Borders, visit our corporate support page.
As hundreds of thousands of fans stream the live event, speedrunners demonstrate their incredible video game prowess and challenge their audience to raise money for Doctors Without Borders. In exchange, they perform even more impressive in-game feats!
Speedrunning has its own community within the video game world, where the only thing that matters is beating any video game as fast as possible, and by any means necessary. Discovering new glitches, skips, or other tricks that manipulate game mechanics is encouraged and these techniques are always at their disposal—even if it sometimes breaks the game! Millions of fans tune into live streams to watch speedrunners each year.
Games Done Quick has partnered with Doctors Without Borders since 2013, setting awesome new records for fundraising year after year:
