    Thanks to all of the amazing support from viewers, donors, runners, volunteers, sponsors, staff and more, Games Done Quick has kicked off its 10 year anniversary with a new donation record of over $3.1 million! All of the donations go directly to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, in pursuit of cancer prevention and early detection!
