Riot Games and its co-founders Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill donated over $1 million to aid coronavirus relief efforts, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced in a press conference Tuesday.
“We are blessed here in L.A. to have industries that not only fuel our city but our country and our world’s economy. Gaming is one of those industries and one of the leaders in that space is Riot Games,” said Garcetti. “They’re based right here in our city, and today that company and its founders are donating more than $800,000 to local nonprofits including $200,000 to the Mayor’s Fund to support whatever is needed for COVID-19 relief.”
