Awesome Games Done Quick Surpasses $1 Million in Donations for Prevent Cancer Foundation
The Sci-Fi block of games at Awesome Games Done Quick saw another incredible milestone as the GDQ team and viewers raised over $1 million in support of the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
Fastest Milestone in AGDQ History
This marks the eighth consecutive year that the community has reached this impressive benchmark. What’s even more impressive is that it’s the fastest time it has ever happened in the history of AGDQ. In just five days, AGDQ 2021 was able to achieve this feat, surpassing the achievement of any previous GDQ event.
Reaching the Milestone During a Halo 3 Run
The milestone was reached during SasquatchSensei’s run of Halo 3, which was the third bonus game on the schedule. The community showed their support by donating $160,000 towards the run to make it happen.
Achieving Success in a Challenging Year
AGDQ Online 2021 has faced its fair share of technical difficulties, but it hasn’t stopped the talented speedrunners from coming together to create an incredible charity event. Despite being run entirely remotely due to COVID-19, AGDQ Online 2021 has shown that a good cause can still bring people together.
With two more days of 24-hour streams to go, there is still a chance to break the overall record set at any GDQ event, which currently stands at $3,164,002 from AGDQ 2020.
