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.
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).
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."
