Giving Tuesday: Activision Asks Players to Support Veterans through Endowment

The Call of Duty: WWII cast is asking for support of veteran unemployment and underemployment this Giving Tuesday. Watch as Josh Duhamel, Brett Zimmerman, Jonathan Tucker, Jeffrey Pierce, Jeff Schine, and Kevin Coubal show their support for the Call of Duty Endowment, an award-winning non-profit that helps veterans find high quality careers by supporting groups that prepare them for the job market and by raising awareness of the value vets bring to the workplace.

The Call of Duty Endowment is a non-profit foundation co-founded by Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. The Endowment helps veterans find high quality careers by supporting groups that prepare them for the job market and by raising awareness of the value vets bring to the workplace.

The Endowment recently completed their annual Race To Prestige, an multi-day, 24-hour, race of the latest Call of Duty installment, during which viewers are encouraged to donate to the cause. This year, over $250,000 was raised. Every dollar will go directly to aiding best-in-class organizations nationwide that help place veterans into high-quality employment. This year, #TheRace welcomed Call of Duty: WWII cast members who assisted with the success by participating in the online stream.

In 2017, The Call of Duty Endowment was proud to announce that an expansion of efforts internationally, to the United Kingdom. These efforts will focus on providing employment support to veterans of Britain’s armed forces, with the goal of finding them high-quality jobs that fully leverage their experience, character, skills and education.
