This year, saving a tree isn’t just about deciding to buy a recyclable fake tree to put up in the corner of the living room. It’s also about finding fun new ways to say “Happy Holidays” to your favourite clients, colleagues, friends, and family. To help with this, Robots and Pencils has decided to build an app to go along with this year’s Christmas cards, and attach its proceeds to a great cause.
The Children’s Cottage Society is a Calgary-based organization that works to prevent harm and neglect to all children, along with building strong families by offering support services, programs, and crisis nurseries. They strive to make sure children are safe and in healthy families. Robots and Pencils feels very strongly about this cause, especially after extensive flood damage to some of their facilities this past year.
Those participating have the opportunity to play the Robots and Pencils-branded game as much as they’d like before December 23rd, 2013. Each round, the player must try and get the ornament into the stocking with the star on it to increase the donation by the maximum amount. However, just by playing, donations will always increase. Don’t forget to play often – we left some cheats in there for the enthusiasts!
After the 23rd, Robots and Pencils will be taking the final donation amount and purchasing much-needed items from the Children’s Cottage Society Wish List. The team will then be packing the Fiat and FJ Cruiser to the brim and driving the items over.
Thanks to everyone’s support, participation, and encouragement this year. Happy holidays! Stay tuned for updates on RoboPlinko!
