Assassin's Creed Community Raising Money for Cardiovascular Medical Research

gamerant.com:

While the community may not always see eye to eye, there have been several times when the Assassin's Creed community has come together to do something incredible. Perhaps it's how the community has celebrated each game week after week as part of Ubisoft's AC15 event, perhaps it's how the community rallied to the idea of Assassin's Creed Sisterhood (including devs), or perhaps it's how the community has supported cause after cause, all befitting the Assassin's Creed.

Last year, several Assassin's Creed players, communities, and associated companies came together to raise funds for mental health awareness, dubbed the Assassins in Need fundraiser. Organized by the Assassin's Creed community page The Ones Who Came Before, proceeds were directed to the World Federation for Mental Health, and now yet another Assassins in Need fundraiser has been organized.

This year, the fundraiser is titled Assassins in Need: Heart of the Creed and is running from now until September 10, 2022. The goal this year is to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and the American Heart Association, with both organizations providing cardiovascular medical research, education, and more to facilities around the world. Various companies and communities are working with The Ones Who Came Before with this fundraiser, hoping to make it the biggest yet with a target of £1500 (or crudely $1806).

It seems this specific cause was selected as many within the community have lost family and friends to heart-related conditions, as well as in honor ofAssassin's Creed
