This year's event received 908 entries, shattering last year's total of 345 and the previous all-time record of 742 set in 2017! The previous donation record (around $10,000 in donations from 1122 different donors) was also shattered by raising a total of $17,916.40 from 1616 different donors! The money was donated to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), an international, independent organization that provides medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, and more. Way to go, TF2 Community!
