Matt Pfaltzgraf, Founder and CEO of Softgiving, added: “Softgiving has always focused on engaging the gaming community to help nonprofits raise funds in creative ways. We know gaming brings communities together and we can’t think of a better reason to unite with the Golden Guardians than to help ensure Make-A-Wish brings their impactful experiences to these deserving kids.”
Esports Insider Says: This is a partnership which can only bring heartwarming and positive news to the esports community. Giving back to local communities is something that a sports organisation such as the Golden State Warriors would look to do often – so the esports branch matching that mentality is no surprise.
