'World Of Tanks' Joins Forces With K9s For Warriors For Veterans Day Charity Event

by Rainier on Nov. 10, 2021 @ 4:54 p.m. PST

In World Of Tanks player teams are fighting action-packed PvP battles, featuring more than 150 armored fighting vehicles from the pre-WW2 era up to the Korean War.

World Of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare. Throw yourself into the epic tank battles of World War II with other steel cowboys all over the world. Your arsenal includes more than 150 armored vehicles from America, Germany, and the Soviet Union, carefully detailed with historical accuracy.

Ride the legendary Tiger tank, or choose the fast-and-furious Soviet T-34, practice your sharp-shooting skills with the American 155mm M40 Gun Motor Carriage or try experimental/prototype machines such as the Germany's monstrous Maus tank. A Player can have an endless number of tanks in "garage", and all machines can be upgraded in dozens of ways: better turrets, chassis, guns, engines, radios, various ammunition types, plus tank crew members can be leveled up as well.

World of Tanks has aligned with the organization K9s For Warriors, the world’s largest provider of Service Dogs for veterans. 

Beginning November 10, 2021 and running until December 1, players of World of Tanks can support the amazing work K9s For Warriors does by acquiring a “Vets Best Friend” pack, via charitable contributions directly to K9s for Warriors. All proceeds go to benefit this organization.

Determined to end veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors provides highly-trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma. With the majority of dogs coming from high-kill rescue shelters, this innovative program allows the K9s For Warriors team to build an unwavering bond that facilitates their collective healing and recovery. Founded in 2011, K9s For Warriors has rescued more than 1,300 dogs across the country and paired nearly 700 veterans with trained Service Dogs.

“K9s For Warriors is truly grateful for the support of World of Tanks through this ‘Vets Best Friend’ initiative,” said Rory Diamond, CEO of K9s For Warriors. “Events like this help us reach more communities so we can continue our mission and provide Service Dogs to military veterans across the country.”

“K9s For Warriors tirelessly works to bring a better life to an extremely vulnerable group of America’s returning warriors,” said Maxime Mashkov, US Publishing Director, World of Tanks. “The World of Tank’s community have always been supporters of America’s active and retired military. By working with K9s For Warriors, we impact the lives of US service members and preserve the life of a future service dog who will aid them, but these efforts can only be sustained through the contributions of all shapes and sizes.”

To answer the call, the World of Tanks community can support K9s For Warriors through a tiered donation program. Charitable contributors will receive one of three “Vet’s Best Friend” support packs based on level of participation. All funds go directly to K9s For Warriors via their donation page and will significantly help them continue their mission.
