Speedrunning and charities have gone hand in hand for quite some time now, mostly thanks to Games Done Quick and its various charity events. Awesome Games Done Quick 2020, which just finished, features various speedrunners getting together and playing random (some may even say awesome) games as quickly as they can. As they play, people can donate to the event, sometimes triggering special incentives that make the runs more interesting. For example, by hitting $4,000 during the run for Control, the runner let the audience pick which language to play the game in, and at $10,000 he showed off both the Ashtray Maze and Dyna-Mite!! music video segments, which are normally skipped in speedruns.
Awesome Games Done Quick 2020 raised $3.13 million donated by over 54,000 people. The money was donated to Prevent Cancer Foundation, which focuses on helping people catch cancer early and attempt to prevent it before it can even start.
