ESA Winter 2019 Raised $30,080 for Save The Children

It’s been a few weeks since the European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA) Winter 2019 marathon ended, although the organizers have, just last Thursday, announced the results in a press release. Combining both streams, the event raised $30,080 USD in the six days that it ran. All of this money went to Save The Children.

Moreover, ESA Winter 2019 was the first event from the group that was sold-out.

In previous years, ESA had sponsors that did donation matching up to some amount; I distinctly remember something like a 10:1 multiple a couple of years ago. As far as I can tell, that was not the case this time, so that was all contributed by the fans, including the runners and attendees.

Two more events are planned for this year. In April, on the 13^th and the 14^th, ESA will be at TwitchCon Europe. ESA Summer 2019 will take place from July 19^th through July 28^th, which is about a month after Summer Games Done Quick 2019 (June 23^rd to June 30^th).
