UPDATE 6/3/23: Frost Fatales - Games Done Quick's all-woman winter charity speedrunning event - has run its last run for the year, raising a grand total of $151,614 USD.

2023's Frost Fatales - the third time Games Done Quick has held the event - kicked off on 26th February and featured over 70 speedruns across a broad selection of titles before coming to a close yesterday, 5th March.

The $151,614 raised from donations over the course of the event - well above last year's $132,983 total - will go to the Malala Fund, a non-profit organisation that works to "secure free, safe, and quality education for girls around the world".
