In celebration of International Friendship Day (30th July) join our New Horizons event to raise urgent funds for autism research and celebrate the importance of digital friendships

The pandemic has left an already isolated and vulnerable community even more so. Our work and the friendships made through Animal Crossing have been a lifeline for many autistic people like Georgia during lockdown.

But with no government support insight for medical research, autism could be one of the hardest-hit areas. Now its the time to protect our research because without it, autistic people and their families will be left even further behind.

Many of your own friends, colleagues, and players need us now more than ever. Join us on 30th July for a special day of gaming, friendship, and fundraising!

Donate to get our in-game bundle especially created by our very own Georgia.
