Now Closed: “Do Good” Challenge Giveaway: Petz Prize Package for Nintendo DS
November 16, 2009 Posted by The Hens
This week, we’re combining our weekly “Do Good” Challenge with a giveaway. It’s kind of a Give-and-Get Challenge. Just help us help the ASPCA and we’ll enter you for chance to win one of ten Petz Prize Packages for the Nintendo DS worth over $120. Our friends at Ubisoft have announced that they have teamed up with the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), and Honor Society, a New York based pop band, to celebrate the launch of their new Petz® games with Sharing and Caring Month. In support of ASPCA’s mission to teach kids about kindness to animals, the Petz video games for the Nintendo DS system, including Petz Nursery, will allow young players to care for and bond with a variety of virtual “petz.”
The Petz Caring portion of the program will feature the ASPCA in the Petz Cause House on UbiWorld (Ubisoft’s online extension for the Petz® video game). Inside the virtual Petz Cause House, kids and their parents can play a variety of Petz mini-games and earn “pointz” to show their support for the ASPCA in protecting animals. Beginning today through January 4, 2010, the total number of “pointz” that visitors earn will be announced weekly in the Cause House explaining to kids how their accumulated points are helping animals. To further support teaching kids about responsible pet care, Ubisoft’s Petz will donate funds directly to the ASPCA.
And the Winners are…

- Melissa D of Baltimore, MD
- Kathryn T of Saint Albans, VT
- Renee T of Shelby Township MI
- Julie M of Grosse Pointe, MI
- Heather C of Orlando, FL

If you’ve ever heard the words “Mom, I won a goldfish!” while at a party, you know that this will end badly. If you’ve never had the experience, be warned- should your child say this, you should suddenly remember Dad’s terrible allergy to all things aquatic. I heard those words at a party this summer, and actually had the naivete to think it could be fun! Little did I know….
