browser-based RPGs to 130 million users, has become a sponsor of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life® to help the

The American Cancer Society
Relay for Life is an event where participants walk around a track in celebration of the lives of people who battled cancer,
in memory of loved ones who have lost their lives to cancer, and to fight back against the disease. Because cancer never sleeps,
the relay is an overnight event where people will be walking the track during the day and throughout the night. The
event will last 18 hours starting on April 29th at 6 PM on the track at Sunlake High School.
More than
20 teams and 250 individuals will be participating in the relay to raise awareness and funds to save lives from cancer. At
least one member from each team will be walking the track at all times. A Luminaria ceremony will begin after dark on
the first night of the relay, April 29th. During the ceremony, candles will be lit and placed inside sand-filled
bags to honor the people who have been touched by cancer and to remember loved ones who lost their lives to the disease. A
silent lap around the track will follow the ceremony.
"We are very excited to be supporting the Relay for
Life. Any event where you battle one of the most dangerous diseases on the planet by walking around in circles for 18-hours
straight... COUNT US IN!" said Adam Bohn, CEO of Artix Entertainment, LLC. “And we encourage everyone who can,
to make a small donation to this noble cause.”
To make a donation, please visit the Artix Entertainment team

Bohn also noted that Artix will be sponsoring a track-side
tent with game merchandise, and 100% of the revenues generated during the Relay for Life will be donated to the event.
The American Cancer Society Relay for Life has grown into a global event. Each year, more than 3.5 million people
in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 19 other countries, gather to take part in
this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer.
