The Pokemon Company Wins Over Its Fans With A $200,000 Charitable Gesture For Hawaii

The Pokémon Company is winning our hearts again. After making a generous donation for humanitarian relief in Ukraine, this video gaming company is reportedly doing another charity for Hawaii wildfire relief efforts. Hawaii recently faced a massive crisis following the outbreak of wildfires, especially on the island of Maui. Till August 11, the government reported 93rd deaths, 1000 missing people and a total loss of $5.52 billion. 

In these ill-fated times of Hawaii, Pokémon company’s donation appeared like a true solidarity gesture. However, this donation is nothing new for the Company. Previously, The Pokémon Company announced a donation to charities supporting social causes and improving the lives of children. 

The Pokémon Company raised support for Hawaii wildfire crisis

The Pokémon Company is currently attracting many spotlights because of their Pokémon Go Championship, along with an upcoming series based on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Amid the tight schedule, this company didn’t forget their corporate social responsibility.

The Pokémon Company International reportedly donated $200,000 to the wildfire relief fund of Hawaii. On their official Twitter platform, this company recently shared a statement that reads- “Our hearts go out to all those who have been impacted by the devastating wildfires in Hawai’i. To support relief efforts, The Pokémon Company International is making an immediate monetary donation of $200,000 to its partner at GlobalGiving through its Hawaii Wildfire Relief Fund.”

The Pokémon Company International’s gesture surely impressed its fans worldwide. With this effective step, this company returned its favor to the Hawaiian fans, who loved the franchise. 

Some fans also hinted that The Pokémon Company International’s gesture is because of their upcoming Pokémon World’s venue being Honolulu, Hawaii. Despite all the rumors, this charity might influence other video gaming companies to raise their support for Hawaii. 

Pokémon Company’s support for Ukraine

Pokémon Company’s charity for Hawaii is not their first one. Previously, this international company donated $200,000 to the Humanitarian Relief Fund of Ukraine as well.

Like this time, Pokémon Company also spoke about Ukraine’s crisis, sharing their heartfelt sadness for Ukrainian citizens- “The growing crisis in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, which continues to cause the displacement of families and threaten the safety of children, is heartbreaking.” 

While Xbox and PlayStation both kept their mouth shut on Fedorov’s request to sever ties with Russia, The Pokémon Company International showed us how to play our parts in the society.
