Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney donated $15 million to conserve 7,000 acres of North Carolina land. The easement<\/a> permanently protects the Box Creek Wilderness area in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains from development for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Each of the studios will be offering special themed charity DLC or will hold sales for their games in support of the charity during the War Child Armistice Fundraiser<\/a>.<\/p>\n
