You could help grant a kid's wish by purchasing video games at your local GameStop next month.
GameStop has announced that beginning on May 1 and running through the end of the month, it will be accepting donations for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Customers will be able to donate $1 USD, $5, $10 or more in-store at GameStop, as well as the retailer's technology branded stores Spring Mobile and Simply Mac. Kongregate customers will also be able to donate with their online transactions.
As a reward for donating, the retailer is offering customers a coupon good for 10% off their next purchase of a used game and PowerUp Rewards members will earn triple rewards points.
"GameStop has a deep history with Make-A-Wish, and we are thrilled to have another opportunity to support such a meaningful organization," GameStop Chief Financial Officer Rob Lloyd said in a statement. Lloyd also serves as a member of the Make-A-Wish North Texas board.
GameStop is looking to raise $500,000 this year, which would beat the $300,000 it raised last year. In addition to supporting the charity with donations, the retailer granted 335 shopping spree wishes in 2014.
This year, GameStop also granted the wish of 12-year-old Jahred Joyner, who has AGS leukodystrophy, to star in a video game commercial.
