EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Four charities during four weeks in May to receive World of Tanks proceeds.
To recognize and honor North American veterans and troops during
National Military Appreciation Month (NMAM), Wargaming America, the
North American publisher and service center of the award-winning
videogame developer and publisher, today announced its "World of Thanks"
giving program in partnership with top veteran organizations. Wargaming
America has chosen four non-profit organizations for the four weeks in
May to receive proceeds from sales within its award-winning game, World
of Tanks: AMVETS, Homes for our Troops, Military Families Fund and
Paralyzed Veterans of America.
Each week in May, one of the veteran organizations will receive ten
percent of the proceeds from the $14.95 and $49.95 gold packages
purchased from the North American cluster. In addition, 75 percent of
the proceeds of the $8.99 T14 tank packages (T14 + garage slot + 1000
gold) purchased during May will be divided between the four
organizations.
"Beyond being a military-themed game, one of our core audiences of
gamers in World of Tanks is active military and veterans - and we feel
it's important we show our gratitude and appreciation," said Wargaming
American General Manager Jeremy Monroe. "The organizations that we've
chosen to work with provide amazing services and support to troops in
U.S. and Canada and we're excited to in turn support them."
Weeks for donation:
AMVETS - May 3-9, 2012
Military Families Fund - May 10-16, 2012
Homes for Our Troops - May 17-23, 2012
Paralyzed Veterans of America - May 24-30, 2012

Last year Wargaming America ran a Veteran's Day campaign to support and
donate to the Paralyzed Veterans of America, raising more than $27,000
in one day for the organization.
May 2012 marks the 14th NMAM, a month designated by Congress to educate
on both the history and recognition of our armed services with an
in-depth look at the diversity of its individuals and achievements. It
allows Americans to educate each generation on the historical impact of
our military through the participation of the community with those who
serve their country.
