For a great cause

This year’s Summer Games Done Quick donations benefit Doctors Without Borders. They are an international medical humanitarian aid organization providing lifesaving medical humanitarian care and speaking out about what they see in those areas. Last year, Summer Games Done Quick raised $3 million USD for the organization. It will be particularly interesting to see how the medical organization fares this year, given the existence of an international pandemic.

As you may have noted, this year features a purely remote experience due to the health risks of the pandemic. Normally the event takes place at the Double Tree Hilton Hotel in Minnesota. Despite the complicated circumstances, the event hosts are doing their best to provide a quality viewer experience. Hosting players around the world has its challenges though, so keep that in mind when tuning in.

You can find the full schedule for Summer Games Done Quick 2020 on the organization’s website.
