Didn't see a thread about this awesome marathon event elsewhere (minus a couple passing comments in other threads), so decided to make one because its great and needs to be talked about! Just like to point out I'm not and never have been involved with GDQ, just a big fan of it... though maybe someday I'll learn a game well enough and get on!
Those not in the know, Games Done Quick is a recurring Live Stream Marathon on Twitch over the course of a week that showcases a plethora of speedruns, raising money for Charity! The last "main" event (Summer Games Done Quick 2019) in July raised over 3 Million Dollars for Doctors Without Borders... which is pretty dang amazing.
They primarily run Semi-annually (AGDQ in January and SGDQ in July) though last couple years smaller events have taken place throughout the rest of the year.

Twitch channel if you want to watch!
I haven't gotten to watch much of it yet this year but looking forward to the "Trash Block" (which, as name implies, is where the shitty games are speed ran... AVGN would be proud lol)
BTW Those not in the know about the poll... it's a reference to Super Metroid lol
