Hey Friend, did you know that in 2020, video game speedrunners helped raise more than $2.3 million for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)? This summer, they’re back to do it again.

Summer Games Done Quick 2021 is back from July 4-11!

Let's back up for a minute. What is Summer Games Done Quick—or as we call it, SGDQ? And what’s a “video game speedrunner?”

SGDQ is a video game streaming marathon that raises millions of dollars to support MSF’s lifesaving work in more than 70 countries. Every summer since 2013, elite gamers—speedrunners—have come together to beat games in record time, with hundreds of thousands of fans watching and raising money to support our humanitarian medical aid work.

Pretty amazing, right? Ready to get in on the action? Whether you’re an avid gamer or just passionate about MSF’s mission, here are a few ways to get involved in Summer Games Done Quick 2021:
