Support Doctors Without Borders with the WoW Charity Pet Program

Support Doctors

This is your opportunity to make a contribution to the global response to COVID-19 with the Charity Pets Program of World of Warcraft. Your donations will go to the medical-humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, and you will contribute to giving two bereavement pets to the community of World of Warcraft.


How It Works

We have made a change to how the charity pet program works, and during this campaign, you can donate directly the amount you want to Doctors Without Borders. Between now and April 26, 2021 (or upon reaching the pre-established goal), all donations will go to the Coronavirus Crisis Fund of Doctors Without Borders to support the organization's global response to the pandemic and its consequences. (MSF-USA will be in charge of collecting the donations).

We will track donations, and upon reaching $ 500, the Bananas monkey will become available to all players in the game. World of Warcraft** Modern as a token of appreciation, whether you donated or not.

Plus, if we hit the $ 1 million figure, everyone will get another pet: the lazy Margarita. This is a new pet that you can carry on your shoulders!


Little Bananas was born on one of the islands that line the coast of Stranglethorn Vale and is the son of King Mukla, fierce leader of the Celestial Gorillas. Luckily, Bananas doesn't look like his father, and his kindness makes him the ideal travel companion to brighten your days in Azeroth and beyond.

Meet Margaret, one of the calmest sloths in all of Azeroth. Take a break between battles to appreciate the world at your own pace. When adventure calls again, use / sign and it will climb on your shoulders.

About Doctors Without Borders:

Doctors without borders is an international medical-humanitarian organization that assists victims of natural or human disasters, armed conflicts, epidemics and health deficiencies in more than 70 countries. Their teams offer basic medical assistance to the people who need it most without any discrimination based on race, gender, religion or political ideology.

About the Coronavirus Crisis Fund:

Faced with the unprecedented global crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, MSF has created the so-called Coronavirus Crisis Fund.

This fund seeks to raise funds for the response to COVID-19 and its consequences. It also allows anyone who wants to donate to ensure that their donations go towards these specific activities. The funds raised will go to support MSF's activities related to COVID-19 around the world, including treating patients with COVID-19, as well as the consequences of this disease on our regular projects.

The objectives of MSF's global response to COVID-19 are:

  • Stop, reduce or delay the spread of the virus.
  • Provide medical care to patients, especially the most serious cases.
  • Minimize the impact on health systems and communities.
  • Share information on prevention measures against infection and the risks that it entails.
  • Improve access to water, hygiene, and sanitation supplies and activities.
  • Provide palliative care for critically ill patients in settings with limited resources.

The vast majority of funds will go to:

  • The acquisition of medical material, such as oxygen for patients or personal protective equipment for our staff.
  • The creation of isolation zones in structures, health centers or hospitals, dependent on Doctors without Borders and other entities.
  • Training of personnel in the care of patients with COVID-19.
  • The implementation of infection control and prevention measures, which includes the selection and referral of patients, among other activities.

Your generosity to the Coronavirus Crisis Fund will enable us to provide urgent medical care where it is needed and to continue working in more than 70 countries to counter the effects of this new disease.
