Sony Computer Entertainment America has thought of a cool way to unite gamers and celebrities, and while they fight, they get to help the world of its troubles and scrapes. The company recently introduced "PlayStation HEROES," a newfound program to be launched on Feb. 24, which will allow fans to clash with their favorite famous personalities in video games while they make contributions to several foundations and organizations.  

Ninety percent of the funds made through "PlayStation HEROES" will be given to the Make-a-Wish foundation, the USO, and the V Foundation for Cancer Research. To start, Sony has donated $100,000 to the aforementioned institutions.

"PlayStation HEROES gives gamers the unique opportunity to help Make-A-Wish grant more and better wishes while continuing to play the games they love in the comfort of their home," Make-A-Wish America president and CEO David Williams said in press release via PR News Wire. "Gamers who support Make-A-Wish can take pride knowing that they have helped provide the powerful, life-changing effects of a wish-come-true to wish kids nationwide."

"PlayStation HEROES" is already up for pre-order and will give buyers early access to themes, which cost $1, $5, $10 and $15. Every dollar spent will be equivalent to a sweepstakes entry for a matchup with the celebrity for the month. The more a player contributes, the greater their chance of getting a showdown against a celebrity ready for battle. There is also a special bundle that offers all the themes and 31 entries, priced at only $20.

The matchups with celebrities will begin in March. Professional snowboarder and skateboarder Shaun White is first on the list and the two-time Olympic gold medalist will be playing Bungie's "Destiny" with lucky fans. Gamers can expect that in the next months, they will be able to come across recording artist Snoop Dogg, Golden State Warriors All-Star guard Stephen Curry, and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig.
