Make-A-Wish Partners with Humble Bundle: Bringing Joy to Children in Need

Make-A-Wish Selected as Humble Bundle's Featured Charity

Make-A-Wish® is thrilled to announce its selection as Humble Bundle's featured charity for the month of January 2025. This collaboration marks a significant opportunity to raise awareness and funds to support children battling critical illnesses. Throughout January, Humble Bundle plans to contribute 5% of the proceeds from every Humble Choice membership to grant life-changing wishes that can provide hope and joy to these young warriors.

Humble Bundle is well-known for its commitment to charitable causes through its gaming platform. Fans and supporters can take part in this initiative by purchasing special bundles of games and software from Humble's e-commerce site, even without a membership. This presents an accessible way for everyone to make a difference and support the Make-A-Wish mission.

According to Jared Perry, Chief Revenue Officer at Make-A-Wish America, "When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope." This collaboration marks a critical step toward making many children's dreams come true. Currently, there are numerous children waiting for their wishes to be fulfilled, and with Humble's support, Make-A-Wish can continue to create transformative experiences for these kids and their families.

The wishes granted by Make-A-Wish play an essential role in offering emotional and physical support to children as they combat their illnesses. This campaign aims to extend the hand of hope and send a message of encouragement to the families in need.

To energize this partnership, Humble Bundle is calling on supporters to share their own aspirations for the year using the hashtag #aspirations on social media. Additionally, there are multiple ways for the community to get involved, including:

1. Become a Wish Granter: Volunteering as a wish granter allows people to create unforgettable experiences for children. Interested individuals can connect with their local Make-A-Wish chapter at wish.org/getinvolved.
