The first Games Done Quick event of 2026 has raised a huge amount of money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. By James O'Connor on January 12, 2026 at 3:54PM PST Every January since 2010, Games Done Quick has raised money for charity through their speedrunning marathon event Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ). Their 2026 marathon, held at the Wyndham Grand in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has just wrapped up, and has raised a huge sum of money. In a post on the Reddit, one of the event's organizers has revealed that Awesome Games Done Quick 2026 has raised $2,443,414 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, which focuses on early detection and prevention of cancer. In total, Games Done Quick has now donated over $28 million to the Foundation of the $59 million in total the streams have raised for charity. Some highlights of this year's schedule of speedruns included some incredible performance in Mario Kart World's Free Roam mode, as well as a relay run of Super Mario 64 where 70 players collected one star each. There's also an incredibly fast run of Hollow Knight: Silksong, a five minute Chrono Trigger run, and a particularly epic speedrun of Pokemon Emerald that is worth a watch. You can check out the entire collection of runs on Reddit if you want to see some extremely impressive performances. The next major charity stream from Games Done Quick will be Summer Games Done Quick, which will be held July 5-11. Awesome Games Done Quick has also been confirmed for 2027, and will be held in Atlanta from January 3-9.
