Yesterday, Blizzard made the presentation during a special ceremony at the company’s headquarters in Irvine, California. They also invited 15 wish children (who are also gaming enthusiasts) and their families to enjoy an exclusive learning experience with the game’s development team.

“This donation…reflects the spirit and generosity of our players – their enthusiasm for World of Warcraft and for supporting a good cause made this possible,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of America serves children with life-threatening medical conditions in the United States and its territories. The Make-A-Wish Foundation International grants the wishes of children outside the United States in 35 countries.

This shouldn’t surprise me, but it does. the Pandaren Monk vanity pet that Blizzard just announced is now sold out. Part of the proceeds for the Monk went to Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The items were never introduced as limited, so WoW.com feels it must be an inventory error. Meaning that Blizzard should have this fixed soon and more people can spend $10 on a virtual vanity pet.
