The bush fires currently ravaging Australia have been devastating. Many people have lost their homes, firefighters are risking their lives daily, and an estimated hundreds of millions of wild animals have fallen victim to the fires. We have created the Guardians for Australia fundraising campaign to support both Australia’s firefighting efforts and the country’s animal rescue and conservation efforts.

Beginning now, the Guardians for Australia fundraising campaign is live on the Bungie Store and Bungie Store EU. As we mentioned last week, we have developed a limited time T-shirt, with an additional in-game emblem code to show support for those in need.

The T-shirt, which comes with an exclusive Destiny 2 “Star Light, Star Bright” emblem redemption code with purchase, will be available for pre-order on the Bungie Store and Bungie Store EU between Thursday, January 16 and Tuesday, February 18 at 9 a.m. Pacific, ending with the weekly reset and the end of Crimson Days.

Half of all profits generated by these T-shirt sales will be donated to NSW Rural Fire Service. The second half will be donated to WIRES, Australia’s largest wildlife rescue organization.

Thanks for supporting a great cause! I look forward to seeing these shirts at future events to identify my fellow Guardians.

Is there anyway the funds raised for Australia could be better distributed? Both organisations are great and worthy, however, they only represent one state, New South Wales (NSW). As I understand WIRES legally cannot act outside of NSW. While many koalas have been harmed there, the safety net population on kangaroo island in South Australia (SA) was also hit hard. So far the bulk of the funding has gone to WIRES and not organisations based in SA or Victoria (Vic). Each state also has their own fire service. The RFS represents NSW, CFA represent la Vic and the CFS represents SA.

I believed that this agreement has already been finalized but I will give this feedback to our team. Thanks.
