Kingsisle Charity Mounts and Where does your Money Go?

Every year, at the start of Kingsisle's Annual "12 Days of the Spiral" event, the eagerly anticipated Charity Christmas Mount is released (and removed from the game permanently at the end of the December) for 7,500 Crowns ($15) . Each year, for the past four years since the first Charity Mount KingsIsle has donated $100,000 (from both games) of the proceeds from the purchases of the mount to the Austin Children's Shelter, Children's Medical Centre and the Make a Wish Foundation - Central and South Texas Division (New addition 2013). All three charities are dedicated to helping children. Just recently, the Make a Wish Foundation visited Pirate101.

The Charity Meowmowden was added back in December 2010 on Wizard101. The cat, which is a white version of the Bengal Tiger, was unique at its release and still is today. Even today, it is still rare as only a few of the owners still play the game.

The Chrismoose was added back in December 2011 on Wizard101, it was the first "original" Charity mount which looked like a moose had run head-first into christmas decorations. It was even more unique as when you move, the bells attached to it, ring.

The Fa-La-La-La-Llama was added back in December 2012 on Wizard101 and Pirate101. This one is my personal favourite, as KI got the jump right: 

and not to mention ... it SKATES (and rings)!

The Noelephant was added this year to both Wizard101 and Pirate101 as well. At the release, it brought A LOT of "aww" moments from people, and even from me. This one rings as you walk too and is just totally adorable!

All the charities that the proceeds of the past and present mounts have been donated to are all excellent in helping kids have a better life.
