The Pokemon Company International has committed $25 million over the next five years to organizations focused on improving the lives of children and supporting social equity, the company announced. Most of the commitment will be fulfilled in cash; a portion will be donated in the form of Pokemon TCG and other products to groups that distribute toys and games to families in need.
