Recently Blizzard released a limited-time skin for Overwatch healer Mercy. The Pink Mercy skin is part of a charity drive, with each sales contributing directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
Blizzard has announced that over $12.7 million USD has been raised through the sales of the skin as well as limited-edition Pink Mercy T-shirts. The campaign also included Twitch streamers streaming Overwatch with donations coming through contributing to BCRF, which adds an additional $130,000 USD.
This is the biggest ever donation from a corporate partner for BCRF, which has been operating for 25 years. The Overwatch community is still certainly big and it’s nice to see them all contributing to praise-worthy efforts.
