M.A.T.

Supporting the Gamers Outreach Foundation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

TORONTO, ON December 2, 2010—Wicked Interactive, an independent games publisher best known for popular, free-to-play shooter Mission Against Terror ( http://mat.subagames.com), has partnered with the Gamers  Outreach Foundation for a special campaign to benefit Project GO Kart, a division of the games charity that funds the construction of GO Karts -- portable video game kiosks which are used to transport video games and other sources of entertainment to patients who have limited access to activities outside their rooms.  

Starting today, Wicked Interactive will donate a dollar ($1USD) for every new account registered in Mission Against Terror (M.A.T.). All monies raised will benefit Project Go Kart, whose latest program is to fund a GO Kart for patients at Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

"We're excited to have the opportunity to work with Wicked Interactive on such a generous and creative campaign," said Zach Wigal, Executive Director, Gamers Outreach. "The campaign they've put together for us is exceptionally generous, and we believe it's going to have a large and positive impact on the lives of the people in the Dallas VA Hospital."

He added, "The staff at Wicked Interactive have expressed an incredible willingness to help support the efforts of our organization, and I believe we are going to reach our funding goal for the latest kart in no time."

"We are happy to give back any way we can," commented Sam Ho, Director, Wicked Interactive. "Too often the industry isn't the good corporate citizens it should be, which is why we have worked so hard to come up with a campaign that enables everyone to shine. It's the least we can do for the troops who have sacrificed so much for our freedom."
