Rainbow Six Siege Doc charity bundle raises over $170k for AbleGamers
In November last year, Rainbow Six Siege developer Ubisoft launched an initiative called the Sixth Guardian Program for the FPS game’s Operation Neon Dawn. This kicked off a series of seasonal operator gear bundles with 100% of net proceeds going directly to selected charities – and it seems they’ve been a roaring success. The first chosen charity, The AbleGamers Charity, has announced its own bundle has raised a whopping $170k.
Well, $171,183 to be precise, which is a pretty huge final total. AbleGamers, which is a US-based non-profit organisation “dedicated to bringing inclusion and improved quality-of-life to people with disabilities through the power of videogames”, was the first charity to be assigned to a Sixth Guardian Program bundle and has announced the total in a press release.

The gaming world is often criticized, rightfully so, for being a toxic and exclusionary space. However, there are people that put all of their effort into making gaming more inclusive for everyone. One name that shines like a beacon of hope in the gaming community is that of Steven Spohn.
COO of the AbleGamers Charity, Steven Spohn has spent years raising awareness and speaking up for disabled people in the gaming community. This year, Spohn began a campaign to raise $1 million for the charity. His work was also enough to garner the attention of movie star Ryan Reynolds, who joined Spohn for a video message to spread support for AbleGamers.
