GamersForHope is a fundraising marathon whose mission is to raise money for causes we believe in. The staff and volunteers organize a non‑stop gaming marathon lasting 48–72 hours, held twice a year, plus a shorter 2–6 hour event at least once a month. Over the years we have raised roughly $8,600 from more than 170 individual donations. During every event we focus on one activity: speedrunning, the art of completing a game as quickly as possible. Each marathon gives runners from around the world a chance to showcase their skills in their favorite titles. Participants also tackle special challenges and help hit donation milestones that trigger exciting moments on stream.
