Summer Games Done Quick (and likewise Awesome Games Done Quick) are events held once a year by SpeedDemonsArchive and SpeedRunsLive. It is a week long steaming marathon where people speed run games in order to raise money for charity. Tons of people donate, and all revenue from the stream and 100% of donations goes to charity. This year all the proceeds are going to Doctors Without Borders, which is a program that gets medical services to parts of the world in which modern medicine is severely lacking. Summer Games Done Quick just started today and will be running though the 30th, and it runs 24 hours a day. Check it out sometime, it is quite entertaining and for a great cause! They have already raise $15,000 just in the first day. Links!
