Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime To Be Honored For Philanthropy
The Entertainment Software Association's philanthropic arm has announced Blizzard CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime as the guest of honor at its annual black tie charity fundraiser. You could join Morhaime and dozens of other video game luminaries at the "Nite to Unite – for Kids" event if you're going to be in San Francisco on October 25th – and you have 750 extra dollars you don't have plans for.
Morhaime and Blizzard have raised nearly two million dollars in charity for kids with terminal conditions in the two years, in part through the well-publicized World of Warcraft pet sales that benefited the Make-A-Wish foundation.
The presidents of Square Enix, Konami, and Ubisoft are co-chairing this year's event. Over the years, the NTU has raised over 12 million dollars, and between the ticket prices and the auction and casino portions of the event, that number should get a decent boost this year.
What have you done for the less fortunate lately? Giving free gold to the spammers in Stormwind doesn't count.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
