Games Done Quick Charity Stream for Hurricane Harvey Relief

by | Sep 1, 2017 | News, News Section, Videogames

The bi-annual Games Done Quick events are two of the best things to happen to gaming all year. Awesome Games Done Quick takes place in the Winter months while its counterpart, Summer Games Done Quick, occurs every Summer. These events raise extraordinary amounts of money for some of the most important charities in the world.

The crew behind Games Done Quick saw the horrific destruction caused by hurricane Harvey and decided that two events just wasn’t enough this year. That’s why they’ve announced Harvey Relief Done Quick (#HRDQ2017 on social media), a weekend-long charity event for the Houston Food Bank. 

The event will begin at 5 p.m. PT Friday and will run for 48 hours, concluding at 5 p.m. PT Sunday. Just like with all Games Done Quick events, 100% of donations will be going to charity.

According to GDQ,

“The Houston Food Bank is America’s largest food bank in distribution to its network of 600 hunger relief charities in 18 southeast Texas counties. […] The Houston Food Bank will provide food and supplies in the short term and for many months to come to residents in southeast Texas who will struggle to rebuild their lives. The Food Bank will work closely with their network of partner agencies to ensure food is getting to those who need it most.”

Games Done Quick are always a blast to watch and they’re a great introduction to the world of speedrunning for the uninitiated. Jak 3Crash Bandicoot N.Sane TrilogySuper Mario Galaxy 2Ori and the Blind ForestCastlevania: Aria of Sorrow and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past are just a few of the dozens of titles that’ll be put to the test this weekend. You can see the entire event schedule on the GDQ website.

You’ll be able to donate and watch the whole event on the Games Done Quick Twitch channel and while you’re there, keep an eye out for some awesome Harvey Relief merch.
