Paris, France, 24 August, 2021 - Gameloft, a leader in the creation and publishing of games, is thrilled to announce that players raised more than $284,000 to donate to the Ocean Conservancy, with Gameloft parent company Vivendi SE, joining the collect with an extra donation to round the figure up to $300,000. In celebration of World Ocean Day on June 8th, a fundraiser took place in Disney Magic Kingdoms as part of the new ‘Finding Dory event’ (you can see the initial details here). Players were able to purchase the Finding Dory ‘Destiny the Whale Shark’ bundle, with all profits from the bundle donated by Gameloft to the Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit environmental organization that is working to protect the ocean from today's greatest global challenges, and focuses on science-based solutions for a healthy ocean and the wildlife and the communities that depend on it.
“We are so excited to be able to contribute such a robust amount to the Ocean Conservancy,” said Jennifer Gale, Game Manager of Disney Magic Kingdoms for Gameloft. “In a year of stress and ongoing struggles worldwide, we are heartened to see our players play a part in making the ocean, crucial to our planet’s health, a little bit better. We can’t wait to see what Ocean Conservancy does and continues to do.”
“Thank you to the players of Disney Magic Kingdoms!” said Jacob Peterson, Associate Director of Events and Partnerships at Ocean Conservancy. “It is our mission to protect the ocean and the animals that share it with us, and this is a wonderful donation to receive. We cannot thank you enough for all of your support and for raising such an incredible amount of money with the Disney Magic Kingdoms community!”
