It's a neat offer to celebrate Destiny's 2nd year and Bungie's 25th anniversary for giving to charity and for playing their games content. [i]Your Moments of Triumph rewards are the 2 shaders and 2 emblems from the book, the shirt offer is optional.[/i]
I'm not sure if you guys understand what The Bungie Foundation does, but let me help enlighten you.
[i]*prepares overused typical Destiny poster spoiler*[/i]
[spoiler]-They donated over [i]1,000,000[/i]$ that was raised through sales of the 'Pride of Nepal' shirt/shader sale to the Direct Relief fund.
-They granted over [i]30 Make a Wish wishes for ill children in 2015 alone[/i], and they've been granting wishes since 2001. Ranging from room remodeling, top of the line spec gaming pc's, studio tours, and even a home DJ studio.
-The Bungie Foundation also has programs in partnership with Seattle Children's Hospital in where [i]they provide iPads to the entire inpatient unit and the child specialists, providing iPad's to the Autism Center to help these children play games and connect with others, and upcoming programs oriented towards career and workforce preparation.[/i] (They are also partnered with 9 other organizations as well)
-[i]All profits[/i] from purchases made in the Bungie Store in 2016, will benefit The Bungie Foundation to continue their efforts in helping children who are suffering by providing entertainment. [/spoiler]
Now I've read quite a few posts with people saying some really nasty and snarky remarks about how it's a 'marketing ploy' to get your money because Bungie's greedy, blah blah, but I'm not going to point any fingers or call out names.
Instead, I hope the few of you who posted those comments read this, and really reflect on yourself and your character. This shirt isn't just a cash grab, its proceeds go to an awesome cause. It's a reward for those who have vested their time in Bungie's game who are willing to give their 30$ to these children who are unfortunate enough to suffer from terminal illnesses and handicaps. The best part is, is any profit from any purchase on the Bungie store on ANY item is going to The Bungie Foundation. But.. too many of you are too quick to jump to conclusions without researching the topic.
So before you go rushing around and spreading negativity, put a little thought into it. The world would be a much better place if we gave a little more to each other unconditionally. Consider this more of an incentive for a good cause. I hope some of you buy some Bungie loot, even if its only the 15$ pins. If they had a link open for a flat out donation, I'd still give.
I'll wear my Moments of Triumph shirt with pride knowing that my money went to a good cause, I may even buy more of the items I've been eyeballing knowing that the proceeds will be used in this manner.
Hope this clears some of these perceptions up. Who else will be acquiring the Triumph shirt or some Bungie merch to benefit The Bungie Foundation's cause?

1 AntwortenYeah look, I can't find any stats on the bungiefoundation page to say how much profit is spent and I'd like transparency so I can make an informed decision. Are they printing their own t shirts with a sister company for 29.99 and giving the one cent to charity, idk I became more wary of charities after lifelong donations only to find out the CEO was on a million a year. Where would I find out where the t shirts are coming from and how much profit is given?

4 AntwortenBearbeitet von B0ngSaburr_Batul: 7/8/2016 11:56:19 PMNowhere on their foundation site does it say all money goes to charity. They (and you) keep repeating that "100% of proceeds from bungie store go to the bungo foundation" ... But what percentage of those proceeds does the foundation actually donate? Im always wary of the sweet songs most charities sing, because in the end most of them donate a pittance of the total sum of money raised to the actual cause. Most charities are just businesses. That make asstons of money and get write offs as a non profit.

To quote a friend of mine, he said, "The Bungie foundation is to help those people who can't afford to fix their television screens, after "throwing money at their screen""

5 AntwortenBearbeitet von BarretOblivion: 7/9/2016 12:24:37 AMOrdered it simply because of their contribution to Autism. I personally have mild Autism but it still makes it difficult for me to communicate with other people in clear way. Its difficult but I understand that it must be even worse for others with more severe Autism. Autism is a real problem that not many sources of news convey to the public.

4 AntwortenThanks for showing this! I knew Bungie donated towards stuff, but I never really knew what it went towards or how. [spoiler]Now I want to buy the stuff I've been eyeing even more. [/spoiler]

I'm glad at least some people use the Internet for good. Thank you for this post. I knew nothing about this except the Nepal shirts.
-
The only reason I'm not buying it is because I don't like the front design. Plus, the Gamertag spot looks kinda small. Other than that, I hope people enjoy their shirts.

I'm sorry but with the current tax structure in America no corporate donations are for the greater good, they are out of greed and with the purpose of tax mitigation; especially if the corporation owns or runs the charity they are giving to (they will eventually distribute funds to other organizations).

Just ordered mine. Probably have to wait a month to arrive in Ireland though. But is nice shirt and will havemy gamertag on the sleeve, so thought; why not? And like you say; its for a good cause. $38 is only £22 in my money, so its all good.
