Frost Fatales Finishes With More Than $150,000 Raised For Malala Fund
Frost Fatales, Games Done Quick’s all-woman winter speedrunning event, concluded on March 4 after a full week of fantastic runs. GDQ’s Frame Fatales community organizes the event every year and this year it included over 65 different speedruns and raised over $150,000 for Malala Fund.
Malala Fund is a non-profit that works to secure free, safe, and quality education for girls around the world. Last summer’s event, Flame Fatales, raised over $135,000 for the charity and this week’s marathon included a video from Malala for the Frame Fatales community. She spoke about Malala Fund’s work, answered questions about video games, and left the community with a message: “You have to begin by believing in yourself for any change that you want to see … This is a message for women and everybody else. You can play a significant role in making this world a better place for all.”
This year, the event had 16 Frame Fatales members in-studio all week managing the marathon’s audio, stream tech, and production. It also featured 9 in-studio runs, more than any other year, complete with in-person couch commentary!
Since 2010, Games Done Quick has partnered with some of the world’s most impactful charities, including AbleGamers, Doctors Without Borders, Organization for Autism Research, and Prevent Cancer Foundation, all while bringing people together to cheer on the best speedrunners and gamers in the world. To date, Games Done Quick events have raised more than $43.9 million in total for charity.
