The promotion ran for all of this past week, during which time 100% of all proceeds from this champion and skin were collected for the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Fund. In the end, over 50,000 summoners chose to participate.

We invited our partners from the Red Cross down to the Riot Games office to accept your donations, which totaled over $160,000! We have witnessed the power in the community in the past, but you never cease to amaze us. Riot Games and the American Red Cross would like to thank you for your generosity, and for stepping in to contribute to the relief efforts in the wake of this global tragedy.
That nurse akali is sooo sexy o.O and its great to see that so many people wanted to help out japan

Haha I'd like to see the responses of all those people who were like "Oh yeah, right... Like Riot actually cares. That will hardly do anything! Blah blah blah." I think the hundreds of people that the $160,000 is going to help would beg to differ... Thanks for your altruism, Riot.

So basically what I see in this is that each skin alone has more than enough potential to reach $200 000 in sales, for what is essentially $100 pay for an experienced designer.

Riot, you guys are marketing geniuses with this. I'm going to start my own gaming company lol
