What does Wargaming have planned for Military Appreciation Month?
To recognize and honor veterans and troops during National Military Appreciation Month (NMAM), Wargaming America the exclusive North American publisher for Wargaming.net, today announced its May giving program in partnership with top veteran organizations for the fourth year in a row.

Each week in May, one of the veteran organizations will receive 25 percent of the proceeds from the $14.99, $22.99 and $23.56 dedicated gold and silver support packages purchased from the North American gift shop across all products. In addition, 25 percent of the proceeds of the all-encompassing “Military Appreciation Month Support Bundle” across each product (1,500 Gold + 1,500,000 Credits/2,000,000 Silver) purchased during May will be divided between the four organizations.

“An amazing thing happens when we work together with our players to provide support to renowned military organizations in the United States and Canada; our commitments and communities grow stronger as we help those soldiers and their families” said Jay Cohen, General Manager of Wargaming America. “The organizations that we are working with this year allow us to continue to educate different generations on the historical impact of our military through Veteran assistance programs, preservation of our military history, and the support that video games can offer.”
