My 11-year-old son Alex, without anyone suggesting it, donated $100 to the Against Malaria Foundation and so gave up the chance to buy 50 Hearthstone arena tickets.
You did great Alex.
Have you thought about writing an article explaining why you choose to make the donation and ask on of the EA blogs to publish it? I think a lot of people would find such an article inspiring and share-worthy.
His response to your comment: "I don't know why I chose to donate, I just had an urge to." I then asked him why Against Malaria Foundation? "Because it was top rated on Givewell." I then asked him why Givewell. "Because you (James) said it was a good charity site."
As a pro Hearthstone player and effective altruist, nicely done! If your son is interested in a free lesson I'd be happy to help him improve his game as a reward for his generosity (though I haven't played arena in a while).
