Today Blizzard revealed that Shadow raised over $1.8 million for charity!
This amount includes sales from both the battle pet and the Shadow plushie (between September 2017 and December 2017). It would be interesting to see how much was raised from just pet sales, but I guess this will have to suffice.
In any case, it's wonderful that players helped raise so much for charitable causes.
Here's an updated list of money raised from battle pet (and accompanying plush) sales over the years:
- 2017 - Shadow (AND plushie) raised over $1.8 million for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief and the IFRC Disaster Relief Fund
- 2016 - Mischief (AND plushie) raised over $2.5 million for the Make-a-Wish Foundation
- 2015 - Brightpaw raised over $1.7 million for the Make-a-Wish Foundation
- 2014 - Argi raised over $1.9 million for the Red Cross Ebola Relief Efforts in Africa
- 2013 - Alterac Brew Pup raised over $1 million for the Make-a-Wish Foundation
- 2012 - Cinder Kitten raised over $2.3 million for the American Red Cross Superstorm Sandy relief efforts
- 2011 - Cenarion Hatchling raised over $1.9 million for the American Red Cross Japan Earthequake and Pacific Tsunami relief efforts
- 2010 - Moonkin Hatchling raised over $800,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation
- 2009 - Pandaren Monk raised over $1.1 million for the Make-a-Wish Foundation
Estimated total: $15,000,000*
