Pokémon Go Fest tickets on sale. Proceeds to benefit Black developers and local businesses

This year's Pokémon Go Fest will be a virtual gathering. Niantic, creator of the Pokémon Go game, plans to donate all of its proceeds – a minimum of $5 million – from the sales of Pokémon Go Fest virtual tickets ($14.99 each, available now in the in-app store) for the July 25-26 event to charity. Half of the proceeds will go to fund projects from Black developers creating augmented reality (AR) projects for the Niantic augmented reality platform with "the goal of shining a light on characters and story and points of view that validate the lives and experiences of the Black community," said John Hanke, founder and CEO of Niantic, in a recent briefing on the event.
