Blizzard Charity Raises 1.9 Million for Ebola Relief

Back in December Blizzard announced an "Adopt Argi" campaign in World of Warcraft to raise money for Ebola relief. Now the results of that campaign have been released: folks contributed over $1.9 million for the American Red Cross.

In the month of December, Blizzard urged fans to purchase the new Argi pet. The entirety of the $10 "adoption fee" was sent to the American Red Cross to help with Ebola relief in Africa. The charity donation period lasted less than a month, ending just before the new year.

Argi's pet page describes the small creature as an "interstellar traveler [who] would love somewhere to call home." It also looks like a goat. Purchasing a cute pet like that and donating money to charity sounds like a win-win to me.
