Uniting for Play

EA is donating $1 Million to Three Charities Helping to Create a More Inclusive World

Play to Give 2018

We believe that games are for everyone and aim to create amazing experiences for our hundreds of millions of players globally that are a true reflection of our diverse world. This illustrates the power of play in uniting an inclusive global player community, building meaningful connections, and transcending boundaries.

This celebration of play and inclusion culminates each year with our annual festival for our players, EA PLAY. To showcase the power of our player community and the ability to collectively bring positive social impact through our shared passion for games, we’ll be kicking off the festivities of EA PLAY with the 3rd annual Play to Give 2018 from June 1 - 3!

As in years past, we’re inviting players to celebrate play and inclusion within our game communities by completing Play to Give in-game challenges that yield special rewards.* The campaign will contribute $1 million to three outstanding charitable organizations that share our commitment to building a more inclusive world:

  • United Nations HeForShe – HeForShe invites people around the world to stand together to create a bold, visible force for gender equality. And it starts by taking action right now to create a gender equal world.
  • PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center – PACER works to create a world without bullying by uniting for kind, inclusive, and accepting communities and online environments.
  • Ditch the Label – Whether you're being bullied or know somebody that is, Ditch the Label have you covered. They are one of the largest anti-bullying organizations in the world; standing united for a world that is fair, equal, and free from all types of bullying.

The Play to Give campaign challenges will run from 8AM PT Friday, June 1 through 11:59PM PT Sunday, June 3. Full challenge details can be found on the Play to Give website or in-game. Participating games include:
