People and organizations from around the world have been donating funds and resources to aid Turkey and Syria as the countries recover from earthquakes that took the lives of over 40,000 people and created myriad struggles for the survivors. The Pokemon Company has a bit of a history in donating to to important causes during times of societal strife and global turmoil. In 2020, the company donated $200,000 to fight social injustice after the killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police. The Pokemon Company donated the same amount to Ukraine last year following the Russian invasion of the country.
As the people of Turkey and Syria continue to recover from the devastating earthquakes that happened earlier this month, we hope that The Pokemon Company’s donation helps resources reach the people that need them.
