The AbleGamers Charity Announces Major Donation From Mech Arena Developer Plarium
The AbleGamers Charity — the leading charity organization enabling play to combat social isolation and foster inclusive communities for people with disabilities — today announced that Plarium, the mobile & PC game developer behind hit mobile 5v5 multiplayer game, Mech Arena, has confirmed a donation of $100,000 to the charity following the successful in-game fundraising campaign, #MechsAreHere.
The #MechsAreHere campaign took place in December 2021. For a limited time, Mech Arena players were challenged to destroy mechs to win in-game prizes, exclusive merch, and raise money for The AbleGamers Charity. For every 100 million Mechs destroyed worldwide, Plarium pledged $10,000 to AbleGamers. The campaign crushed its goal of destroying one billion mechs, totaling a $100,000 donation for AbleGamers.
“The #MechsAreHere campaign was a big success for our game, the players, and in turn, The AbleGamers Charity,” said Aviram Steinhart, CEO, Plarium. “We continue to strive to bring exciting and meaningful campaigns to our games and look for opportunities to partner with causes that align with our values.”
“The $100,000 donation from Plarium and Mech Arena will enable us to connect, engage, and empower hundreds of gamers with disabilities,” said Steven Spohn, AbleGamers Senior Director of Development. “People sometimes believe what we do is simply giving disabled people a controller and sending them on their way, but our mission never stops there. Through programs, consults, and other meaningful ways of connection, players begin building meaningful and impactful relationships through the power of video games.”
“Thanks to donations and fundraising campaigns like the one put on by Plarium and Mech Arena, we’re able to continue engaging gamers and make lasting impacts on the lives we touch,” said Roger Brooks, AbleGamers Director of Mental Health. “This kind of support allows us to meet individuals where their needs are and further our mission to remove the notion of a ‘one size fits all’ solution.
