In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, Big Fish is donating $225,000 to National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® (NBCF), to be paid on or before December 31, 2019. Big Fish also pledged an additional $25,000 toward in-kind activities for employees including assembling NBCF HOPE kits for 300 breast cancer patients across the country.
Big Fish is also running two free themed in-game events so players can join together and raise awareness too! Participation is voluntary, gameplay is free, and there is no purchase necessary to participate or win. The donation by Big Fish to NBCF is not determined or influenced by gameplay time or in-game purchases.
The two events are as follows:
(1) Between 09/26/19 12 AM PDT and 10/4/19 11:59 PM PDT, players can “play for a cause” to show support for breast cancer awareness through special free in-game events featuring NBCF-branded pink gameplay. Participating Big Fish free-to-play games include:
- Cooking Craze
- Decurse
- Fairway Solitaire
- Gummy Drop!
- Big Fish Casino
- Jackpot Magic Slots
The more time players are “playing for a cause,” the more rewards they will unlock in game. No purchase necessary to participate or win.
Details vary according to the participating game title.
Big Fish Games Community Game-Off
(2) Between 10/01/19 12 AM PDT and 10/31/19 11:59 PM PDT, players can “play for a cause” to show support for breast cancer awareness through a free community game-off between seven Big Fish free-to-play games. Participating Big Fish free-to-play games include Big Fish Casino, Cascade, Cooking Craze, Decurse, Fairway Solitaire, Gummy Drop and Jackpot Magic Slots. The game with the most minutes played* wins the free community game-off. All players that played the winning game during the game-off time earn a special in-game reward beginning 11/01/19 12 AM PDT.

Why did Big Fish choose to support the cause for Breast Cancer?
We chose Breast Cancer Awareness for the Big Fish for a Cause campaign because breast cancer continues to be one of the leading health crises for women in the United States and the majority of our players are women, many of whom have shared their stories and inspired us.
We chose National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. ® for our donation because NBCF provides a number of great services and support, and they endeavor to help women in every stage of cancer from mammogram to diagnosis, to treatment, and after. NBCF uses 84 percent of its donations for programs that provide free mammograms for women in need, patient education, awareness campaigns and breast cancer research projects.
Does Big Fish take donations?
Big Fish is not accepting donations for this campaign.
