Intersections Helps Raise Funds for Children's Nonprofit Through Corporate Sponsorship & Support of New Social Media Game
IDENTITY GUARD® First Partner to Participate in Unique Cause Integration Program
CHANTILLY, Va., Jan. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Intersections Inc. (Nasdaq: INTX), a leading provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services that has protected over 30 million consumers, today announced its continued support for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNHospitals) by becoming the first corporate sponsor of a new hospital themed online social game being built by CausePlay, LLC and benefitting CMNHospitals, Hospitopia. Hospitopia is a new breed of social game that donates 10% of all gross revenue to CMNHospitals across the country while users build and manage a virtual hospital from the ground up.
"In December, Intersections first announced its partnership with the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and its dedication to raising funds for the organization through corporate initiatives and by donating a portion of the proceeds from new IDENTITY GUARD® memberships," said Joe Mason, Senior Vice President of Consumer Services for Intersections Inc. "Intersections' involvement in the development of Hospitopia further emphasizes the company's commitment to the organization and its cause. We are thrilled to be a part of such an exciting initiative, and believe the cause-integration model will help educate more consumers on the real threats of identity theft and what they can do to protect themselves."
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals is a charity dedicated to raising funds for children's hospitals across the country. Donations are used to provide medical equipment, charitable care, and to fund research and education programs dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children across the country. Through corporate and personal donations, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals are able to help provide care for more than 17 million children each year, regardless of age and background.
"CMNHospitals is excited that Intersections has signed on as a sponsor in the launch of Hospitopia," said Aubrey Cichelli, Vice President, Communications at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. "Part of Hospitopia's mission is to not only raise funds and awareness for our organization but to also educate individuals through integrated game play about our sponsors and partnering organizations and the work they are doing in their respective industries. As a leader in the identity theft protection industry, Intersections' involvement in this game will educate consumers about security and identity theft in a fun and safe environment."
Hospitopia, created and launched by the social gaming company CausePlay, LLC, allows users to build and manage their own virtual hospital on the popular social networking site, Facebook. Intersections is the first corporation to engage in the game's unique cause integration application, where IDENTITY GUARD®, the company's leading consumer identity risk management solution, is embedded into the game. The individual Children's Miracle Network Hospitals will directly benefit from users' game play, earning special prizes and incentives as funds are raised and donated to hospitals throughout the CMNHospital Network.
