Gamestop needs you to Make-A-Wish
Let's get together and help some kids dreams come true.
GameStop will be hosting a Make-A-Wish donation program in its stores from May 1 to May 31, encouraging customers to donate $1 or more with their purchases. All proceeds in GameStop's donation program go directly to Make-A-Wish. GameStop hopes to raise $100,000 for Make-A-Wish in May.
In the past, Gamestop has been very successful in raising funds for their partnered charities, including St. Jude’s Research; and Activision’s Call of Duty Dogtag’s for warriors.
"Wish experiences can be game-changers for both the children and their families, helping wish kids feel better mentally, and in some cases, even get better physically," Make-A-Wish American CEO David Williams said. "We are thankful for the generous support of GameStop."
Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses in the United States, with an average of one wish granted every 38 minutes. Remember Bat-Kid? ( If not you should google him, every single Batman Co-signed him ). The best part of the whole experience for them, will be knowing that you helped to make a child’s wishes come to life; because their happiness will be your own.
I want to give a big thank you to everyone who donates to charities, even just $1.00 or a few minutes of your time volunteering can help to make the difference to the person you sponsor. You don’t have to feel obliged to do it outside of Xmas, or Thanksgiving.
They may never see you, or meet you; but your donation will be sincerely welcomed.
