And that’s it! Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 Online (often referred to as simply AGDQ) has concluded, and the event managed to raise over $2.75 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation this time around. More specifically, the week-long event raised a grand total of $2,758,847. Last year’s event raised over $3.16 million, but considering the restrictions that this year had to deal with what with the coronavirus pandemic still ongoing, over $2.75 million seems extremely good.
If you are somehow not aware, these Games Done Quick events are basically a group of players speedrunning through various video games in order to raise donations for charity. The Prevent Cancer Foundation, the recipient of AGDQ’s donations, is a U.S. non-profit organization focused on cancer prevention and early detection. All donations made to the event go directly to the foundation.
