The world’s first in-game donation platform, Don-Ay allows compassionate gamers to make donations to causes dear to their hearts – which is made possible by Affinity Project’s partnerships with non-profit organizations (NPOs) such as Best Friends Animal Society.
In Don-Ay: Pet Rescue, every action – including watching an ad or purchasing in-game items/currency – will generate a donation outside of the game. Soon, players all over the globe will be able to help homeless animals through Best Friends as they cuddle, feed, bathe and groom their virtual pets; Pegi the Dog and Silver the Cat also get to hop on a cloud and fly across a variety of picturesque Dream Worlds!
“Don-Ay: Pet Rescue was born out of a chance meeting; between two friends and an abandoned animal looking for a home. This sparked the idea for a game; that allowed players to seamlessly donate to amazing non-profit organizations; such as Best Friends Animal Society. With Don-Ay, players can help animals in need wherever they may be; effecting change in the real world one pet at a time.”
– Ivan Paris (CEO, Affinity Project)
“We are thrilled to work with Affinity Project. The donations generated from this activation have the potential to impact; the lives many of the dogs and cats in our care.”
– Eric Rayvid (Director of PR, Best Friends Animal Society)
