Zynga's holiday charity drive turns in-app purchases into Toys for Tots
Zynga's charity campaign "Oh, What Fun!" runs today through December 31, with 100 percent of select, holiday-themed in-app purchases in seven games directly benefiting Toys for Tots.Participating games are CityVille, CastleVille, Words With Friends, Pioneer Trail, Bubble Safari, Draw Something and FarmVille, each with specific items to purchase for the charity, such as FarmVille's cheer-ewe-up horse for $1. As always, we're happy to see Zynga isn't sheepish about using puns. We're laughing so hard, there's a cramp in our calf. Sorry, we're really milking this one.Some of the items have time limits within the charity drive, with FarmVille's ending on December 5 and Pioneer Trail's not beginning until December 17. Check out the full list of games, items and timeframes after the break.
Hello Kitty Online joins the Toys for Tots charity drive
Hello Kitty and Toys for Tots, two names that are pretty recognizable at first glance. Well, the two are teaming up for the holiday season, as Aeria Games is using Hello Kitty Online as a platform to drive charitable contributions in a pretty unique way. Instead of offering a buyable pet and giving the proceeds to Toys for Tots, HKO players will get to search the grand virtual lands of Sanrio for Short Sticks, Webley Webs, Shells, and Bramble's Comfort. Each set of items collected will go to creating a special in-game Crab Plush Toy for you and will add one more donation to Aeria's real life toy drive. That's right: An in-game quest with a real life reward of helping get toys to children for the holidays. That's one quest that you can't drop from your log. GMs will be picking up item sets on December 14th, 15th, and 16th. For the full information on what needs to be collected to make a set, check out the event page on HKO's main website. Don't miss out on this great chance to help children in need!
