100% of Sales to Bend, Oregon Community Assistance
100% of net proceeds (i.e. all money received from Steam payout) from Hellfire 1988 will be donated to the Bend Fire Community Assistance Program! The Bend Fire Community Assistance Program is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization run entirely by members of the Bend Oregon Fire Department:

"Often while firefighters are responding to emergencies, additional needs are noticed in conjunction with the emergency the person called for. These may be in the form of financial hardship and the inability to pay a bill, fill a car with fuel, clothe a child, or provide groceries for their family. The Community Assistance Program seeks to bridge these gaps with funds that are raised through donations by the community. As firefighters, we believe we have a special and unique opportunity to intervene in someone’s life during their most difficult time to help lessen the burden of financial stress. We are so grateful for the ability to help our community out in this way."
