The runs to catch
Over 50 runs are on the slate. A Super Mario 64 Rogue Chaos 70 Star race lands Monday around 8PM ET, and an Animal Crossing lockout bingo race hits Wednesday around 7PM ET.
Where the money goes
Malala Fund works to get girls worldwide into secondary education. Frame Fatales has raised more than $1 million for its charity partners since 2019.
