MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION
GameStop associates helped grant more than 350
shopping spree wishes at GameStop stores in 2015.
Since we first began granting these wishes in 2007, we
have granted more than $800,000 in shopping sprees
for children fighting life-threatening conditions. We also
set a new record for our annual in-store Make-A-Wish
donation program during the month of May by raising
more than $1.2 million in contributions.
ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL
For the third consecutive year, we participated in
St. Jude’s Thanks and Giving Campaign during the
holidays. We also continued our official gaming
sponsorship of St. Jude’s PLAY LIVE online video
game fund-raising event. Through these efforts, we
helped raise more than $4.3 million in donations for
the children of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Embracing Our Social Responsibility
GameStop’s global family of more than 40,000
associates once again demonstrated their commitment
to protecting the families of our guests and associates
by giving back to those in need. Our communities
are the backbone of our business. Our giving mission
is to support organizations focused on youth well-
being, such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital, and Ronald McDonald
House Charities. We also continue to extend help to our
associates through the Game Fund employee assistance
program. Through the collective eorts of our annual
in-store donation campaigns, associate volunteerism and
in-kind contributions, we extended the giving spirit of
our guests and GameStop associates to touch the lives
of our neighbors, families and friends. For 2016, we are
expanding our social responsibility focus internationally
to create inclusive, responsible communities and to
continue improving youth well-being by using gaming,
technology and geek fanaticism for the Power of Good.
As part of this eort, we are adding three new charitable
partners to our corporate social responsibility program:
Autism Speaks, Snowball Express and the Call of Duty
Endowment program.
