On Saturday, May 9, the Shreks of Club Penguin hosted a charity event for Shrek’s 25th anniversary. Their charity of focus was organisations that focused on conserving wetlands. Let us further examine this charity event and its outcome.
The History of Charity Events in Club Penguin Armies
Charity events aren’t uncommon in the community. In 2021, the community saw Ice Warriors host a charity event for #TeamSeas, with then-leader Dr Queen helping with donations. The Rebel Penguin Federation contributed to the charity in 2021 with their Rebel Cash for Change.
The most recent Shreks of Club Penguin charity event is not the first charity event hosted by Vivala within the community. She also contributed to a charity event within Water Vikings, where she hosted a custom takeover for her rescue dog, Cooper. The final max would be the amount she donated to the local animal shelter from which she got Cooper.

Saving the Wetlands
On May first, Vivala announced within the Shreks discord server that she would be hosting a charity event in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Shrek movies. She announced she would be donating a dollar per penguin to swamp/wetland conservation organisations. Vivala spent the following week inviting various armies to this charitable event.

On the day of the event, the army saw a max of 17. Vivala ended up donating $68 to wetland conservation organisations. Additionally, Viv decided to change the initial amount from $1 to $2 and also had the help of various army members throughout the community.

What inspires you to host these charity events?
Vivala has a strong passion for giving back to the community and has a bigger passion for Shrek. There will be more charity-based events that the community will see from Vivala. How do you feel about Club Penguin Charity events? Do you see yourself doing something similar to Vivala?
