Hello and welcome to yet another edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best user-created offerings from the last week. Well, as we will talk about soon, it was a highly successful week in terms of raising money for charity. The Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run CRUSHED its fundraising goal this year and Abby hosted another successful campaign as well! To everyone who has tuned in and donated, you have my thanks! However, as people start to near the end of their ability to donate, don't forget to spread the word of any fundraisers to family and friends when they happen. Sometimes you would be surprised to see how charity the members of your family can be when it comes to the people who put a smile on your face. With that out of the way, let's jump into the latest edition of the site-related housekeeping!
- I want to share a big THANKS to @thatpinguino for hosting another successful edition of the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run! This time the event raised OVER $20,000! Many thanks to everyone who streamed, donated, and/or chilled out in chat while it happened!
- Abby's most recent charity stream raised over $8,000 for International Rescue Committee! If you missed the stream and are still interested in donating, the page is still up!
- Congratulations to Giant Bomb user @drfidget for winning Jan's recent Pokemonday Tournament! Go to the Community Activities tab if you are interested in joining the fun next time!

It took me a bit to get fully caught up on @alex_navarro's Lockdown drum streams. It may not be Extra Life time, but I've still got stats over here anyway.https://t.co/IlvdARmyj6 pic.twitter.com/190XdegI9p
