Overwatch Pink Mercy Event Raises 12.7 USD Million for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation

From May 8th until the 21st Blizzard released an exclusive $14.99 skin for Mercy called Pink Mercy designed by community artist VICKISIGH with all proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. According to Blizzard, they raised $12.7 million.

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the Overwatch community during the Pink Mercy charity campaign, we’ve raised more than $12.7 million (USD) to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

This is the largest donation by a corporate partner within one year in BCRF’s 25-year history, and it’s all because of you.

In addition to picking up the charity skin, players showed their support for the cause by purchasing thousands of limited-edition Pink Mercy T-shirts, available for men and women, designed by community artist VICKISIGH.

Charity stream viewers, rejoice! In addition to the $12.7 million raised through sales of the skin and T-shirt, you separately raised over $130,000 USD in donations watching 14 different Overwatch stars stream on Twitch.

Overwatch is now available for PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
