Strike! Against Cancer in November

10/31/2017

1 Comment

 
As you may know, for the last year I have been on hiatus from working on Strike! because my daughter was diagnosed with cancer (stage 4 neuroblastoma) in January when she was 18 months old. Since then she has received impeccable care from The Hospital for Sick Children here in Toronto. The treatment has been going well so far, but there is still a significant risk of relapse, which is just the nature of high-risk neuroblastoma. I'm posting about this now because I want to repay the hospital for everything they have done for us.

To that end, I will be donating 100% of my portion of all sales on Strike! products in the month of November to the SickKids Foundation supporting the hospital. If you were thinking about buying Strike!, there has never been a better time to do so - you get the game and your money goes to helping sick children, like my daughter. If you already have the game, buy copies for your friends! Christmas is coming up soon, after all.

My goal in this promotion is to make things as easy as possible for you as a customer, so all you have to do is buy the game via the paypal links here on the website (for PDFs) or via DriveThruRPG (for PDFs and physical books), and I will handle the rest. If you would prefer to donate directly to SickKids Foundation yourself, to a children's hospital local to you, or to a kids cancer charity, you can do that, too! Just make the donation in the month of November and email a photo or screenshot of your receipt to me at jimbozig@hotmail.com, and I will send you PDFs and/or discount codes up to the value of your donation (note that I cannot discount a physical book 100% because DriveThru needs to take a cut for printing costs). If you have a charity in mind and aren't sure if it meets my criteria, just send me an email and I'll let you know.

Pledge details: Yes, this will absolutely be 100% of the money coming to me that goes to the charity. I have no control over the portion that goes to Paypal or DriveThru, but every cent I get will go to SickKids Foundation. My donation will happen in early December - it takes a few days to get the money from Drivethru into my Paypal and from Paypal into my bank account. I will make an update on the website December 2nd with a full accounting of the total.

Please share this on social media so we can reach more people and raise more awareness and money!
