http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2008/12/blizzardholidays.jpgHere's a cool way to donate some money to charity and have a chance at probably the best prize a WoW player could want. Katherine Allen is a Blizzard employee (our own Michael Sacco, formerly known as "Belfaire," says she's a friend) who's raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (http://pages.teamintraining.org/ctx/pfchangs09/kallen), and she's offering a contest with each donation: by giving at least $25 and putting an Alliance or Horde comment on the donation page, she'll enter everyone who does so in a drawing to win one of three one-year timecards for the game. And because donations have already topped $5500 (as of this writing, they're at $7,420), she's picking one more name out of the hat, to win a lifetime subscription. That's right -- donate, win, and you'll never have to pay for WoW again.
Very nice -- not only is that an amazing prize, but it's awesome that because of the generosity of WoW fans, they've already met their fundraising goal for the society (http://www.lls.org/hm_lls), and then some. Donations are being accepted until January 5th, so there's still time to get your name in the pot if you'd like. Even if you don't pick up a prize, you'll be helping to try and save the lives of 145 people a day (http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/all_page?item_id=12486), and while trouncing the Lich King is definitely a thrill, helping people in real life is even better.http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Blizzard employee offering a lifetime pass to raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/28/blizzard-employee-offering-a-lifetime-pass-to-raise-money-for-le/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Sun, 28 Dec 2008 14:00:00 EST.
