Playstation also released a video with the celebrities. In the video, Shaun White said, “You know, it’s something that makes a world of gaming so involved and so many people together. And, you can get a big group doing something positive for the world and making the change; that’s amazing. And so money gets donated to charities; for me, it was a Make A Wish Foundation. Ever since I was a kid, I have had a heart defect of my own. The complications growing up, so I was able to meet kids with a similar heart condition and liked how much fun to have. I was not supposed to be active but look at me now.”
