Xbox is pleased to announce that Cure Cancer is the first Australian-based charity to be available as a rewards donation through Microsoft Rewards!

Available today, this means you can turn your MS Rewards points, earned from playing games on Xbox or shopping on Microsoft Store or even just signing into the site and completing challenges, into donations.

Cure Cancer has raised $75.7m to support over 534 lifesaving research grants across all cancer types, and now through Microsoft Rewards, users can now help support.

Cure Cancer CEO Nikki Kinloch says,

“We are delighted to be partnering with Xbox through Microsoft Rewards to help fund crucial cancer research. This partnership where our core values align is incredibly important.

We are fortunate to see this every day in our innovative young scientists on the front-line of cancer research.”
