BUNGIE DAY GIVING FESTIVAL is a worldwide online fundraiser celebrating the Bungie community's legacy of love and service to others when kindness and generosity are needed most.
>From July 7 – 20, Bungie Foundation will spotlight some of the many community members who have stepped up in significant ways to support their charitable efforts. Gamers, content creators, streamers and donors worldwide are encouraged to take part in creating positive change by raising substantial funds to make this world a better place for all. Notable streamers already confirmed include ImPwnstar, uhmaayyze, shesnaps, Lanza, and many more. Click here for a complete schedule.
Funds raised will help ensure that the Bungie Foundation can continue its meaningful work across its three charitable pillars: Children's Health and Wellbeing; Humanitarian Aid; and Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity.
Participants will be able to meet new people and make new friends by watching and supporting each other’s steams. In addition, as they raise funds, participants will have the opportunity to earn the highly sought-after Metagalactic Bloom emblem and the all-new Function of Grace emblem, all while their donors earn some fantastic incentive prizing themselves!
The lineup of impressive incentive prizes participants can earn includes the brand-new “Seven of Seven” emblem, "Circadian Guard” 2021 emblem, "Buoyant Shell” 2021 ghost, "Hearts Emblem Package”, "Bungie Day Emblems Package”, "Metagalactic Bloom" emblem, and "Function of Grace" emblem. Supporters can also purchase the “Loyal Companion” exotic emote from the Eververse in Destiny 2 and the Artemis Plush from the Bungie Store, with 100% of profits supporting the Bungie Foundation.
If that wasn’t enough, anyone has the chance to join the fun. So, if cosplay is your jam, now is the time to dig out your fancy blue eyeshadow to channel your inner Zavala or channel your favorite #D2 character. Show your creativity by sharing your photos with the hashtag #ShredsOfLight for the chance to be featured throughout the campaign.
The Bungie Foundation's past events, such as the Bungie Day Giving Festival and Game2Give, are testaments to how technology can bring us together and connect us to those we could not otherwise reach. Organizers invite anyone interested in creating positive and inclusive change to participate.
“I truly believe we have the greatest community in the industry,” said Christine Edwards, Sr. Foundation Manager of the Bungie Foundation. “Time and time again they have stood up to support each other and address the needs of the world around them with enthusiasm and compassion – there is a culture of giving that is unmatched. I believe that through our three charitable pillars, we are able to connect to the passions individually held by our community because we support something that each person cares about on a personal level. Our mission is to build and empower our community to improve the health and wellbeing of children, uplift the rights of all individuals and communities, and provide aid in times of crisis. We wouldn’t be able to do this work without the many thousands of people who support us.”
When the Bungie community joins together in solidarity, we can continue making our world better, brighter, and more hopeful!
