AGDQ 2025 筹集 250 万美元善款

Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 surpasses fundraising goals, exceeding $2.5 Million for Cancer Prevention

The Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) 2025 event, held from January 5th to 13th, successfully raised over $2.5 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. This impressive total surpasses the 2024 event's fundraising by over $100,000. The event featured a diverse lineup of speedruns, showcasing titles like Crazy Taxi, Super Metroid, and many more across various gaming genres.

AGDQ, a prominent annual winter event hosted by Games Done Quick (GDQ), is one of two major marathons held yearly, complemented by the Summer Games Done Quick in July. GDQ also organizes smaller events throughout the year, such as Frame Fatales and GDQ Express. Notably, in October 2024, a special Disaster Relief Done Quick event raised over $45,000 for Direct Relief in response to Hurricane Helene's impact on the Southeastern US.

This year's AGDQ 2025, held in Pittsburgh, kicked off with a swift Pikmin (Switch) run by Ray0ken, completed within an hour. The event's remarkable fundraising contributes to the Prevent Cancer Foundation's mission of early detection, prevention, research, and public awareness programs. This partnership between GDQ and the PCF has a long history, with over $26 million raised collectively across various GDQ events.

A standout moment was a thrilling 18-minute Crazy Taxi run by Chuckles825, accompanied by a live band performing the game's soundtrack to circumvent copyright restrictions. This unique performance generated over $24,000 in donations. The event concluded with a nail-biting, randomized four-player Super Metroid (SNES) race, resulting in a photo finish between Eddie and Andy.

Games Done Quick will continue its fundraising efforts with Summer Games Done Quick 2025, scheduled for July 6th in Minneapolis, benefiting Doctors Without Borders.
