Star Trek Online Players Raised $75k for Breast Cancer Research
Back in October, Star Trek Online went pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To raise awareness and funds, they partnered with digital media bundle website Groupees to offer several exclusive sets of digital assets for the game, the proceeds of which were to go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Players contributed to the fundraising effort by purchasing special bundles to redeem in-game, which included things like special pink non-combat pets and costume pieces, all the way up to premium starships.
The fundraiser finished at the end of October, and when all contributions were counted, the Star Trek Online community had raised almost $75,000. Well done to everyone who participated in the fundraiser, and if you happen to see anyone flying around with pink vanity shields in game, please give them a thumbs-up from me.
