Destiny Charity Shirts Raise over $1 million for Nepalese Relief
Well done Bungie customers, you’ve managed to rally up $1 million for Direct Relief, a Nepalese relief fund, through the magic of t-shirts. At the moment, the total donations raised has hit $1,026,006.80, which is incredible.
While no longer available, the Destiny shirts cost $30 with $15 going to the charitable cause. Adding to the pile, both Activision and the Bungie Foundation contributed $50,000.
The CEO of Direct Relief spoke earlier on the incredible support, “This was an astounding act of generosity on the part of Bungie and the larger Bungie community, and we at Direct Relief are deeply grateful - beyond what can be expressed in words."
"Most importantly, the Bungie community's amazing support will translate immediately and directly into help for people in Nepal who experienced a tremendous blow, are in a very difficult and more vulnerable situation now as monsoon season nears, and also have a long, tough road ahead.
“Every penny will be spent to help strengthen essential health services that were needed before the earthquakes and much more so now."
