Games Done Quick pulls in $400k for coronavirus relief fund Running from home. News by Emma Kent Contributor Updated on 20 Apr 2020 2 comments Summer Games Done Quick 2020, like many gaming events this year, had to be postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak - yet that wasn't enough to stop GDQ from raising money for charity. Instead, an online-only speedrunning event called Corona Relief Done Quick was organised, and the marathon has now raised over $400k (£353k). We also managed to break $400k raised for @DirectRelief! How about that!Thank you so much to everyone for all your effort and all the money you have donated towards this wonderful charity during this marathon! #CRDQ- Games Done Quick (@GamesDoneQuick) April 20, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings Between 17th-20th April, over 6000 people donated to help GDQ reach its $400k milestone. All the proceeds are going to Direct Relief, a "humanitarian aid organisation with a mission to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergencies". If you want to catch up on some of the runs - which include a spectacular Cuphead sprint, Castlevania runs, NieR Automata and more, you can find it all over on Games Done Quick's Twitch channel. And, of course, there's still time to donate: you can help bump up that total over here.
