#SlayDragonsSaveCats charity effort raises over $100K – halfway to $200K goal
ESO players have generously raised $103,423 of the $200,000 goal to help save and improve the lives of pets across the world through Best Friends Animal Society (North America), and FOUR PAWS (pan-European). Additionally, players have directly donated $1,390.09 to the charities. The $200,000 donation will be split evenly between Best Friends Animal Society and FOUR PAWS when the initiative ends on December 9, 2019.
In ESO’s Elsweyr Chapter, released in June, the cat-like Khajiit and their homeland of Elsweyr are under siege by Dragons. Players have been hard at work saving Elsweyr’s feline citizens by slaying Dragons, and for every five winged-beasts felled through December 9, Bethesda will donate $1 USD, up to $200,000. More details are available on the campaign page: www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/slaydragonssavecats.
