Gamers are ready, set and go-ing to share a lot of meals in aid of the World Food Programme
SHANGHAI-Sunday 28 July 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)
-- YOOZOO Games is limbering up for an epic gaming marathon next month,
as gamers all over the world get ready to turn their on-screen efforts
into meals; all in support of the WFP’s fight against hunger in some of
the world’s most vulnerable regions.
Gaming fans
will get to enjoy exclusive gameplay features and events during the
week-long initiative; by joining in they will be helping to raise
crucial funding for the World Food Programme. The premise is simple: the
more you play, the more YOOZOO donates. #GTarcadeHungerHeroes is a call
from GTarcade to experience, to share and to make more people aware of
the existence of hunger — participating in fun, charitable activities
that will aid WFP in their mission to solve food shortages.
YOOZOO Games
said “For 10 years we’ve been incredibly fortunate to bring simple joy
to millions of people around the world, through video games. The support
we’ve received from our loyal fans has allowed us to support a variety
of important causes. This year, we want to push the boundaries even
further and help provide urgent support to those who truly need it the
most.”
For the
GTarcade marathon, YOOZOO has set up a team page on the World Food
Programme’s ShareTheMeal site. All money raised will help important WFP
projects addressing hunger, promoting food security, and providing food
assistance.
Check out the trailer for the gaming marathon here.
There are
three ways that you can get involved with GTarcade’s Hunger Heroes event
and help raise money in the fight against hunger:
