Parallel, a sci-fi card game based on the Ethereum blockchain, will hold a charity auction where proceeds from the sale will be donated to the not-for-profit online learning website Khan Academy.

The auction will be held on Major NFT marketplace OpenSea on January 19 at 5 PM EST, and only a single NFT entitled “Inspiring Teacher” will be put for auction. OpenSea tweeted the announcement Wednesday with Khan academy confirming the news.

“Khan Academy was a perfect fit as a charitable partner given its mission of enabling tech-forward education for everyone regardless of means,” OpenSea tweeted. “This sale helps children in need become a smarter and more empowered group of global leaders. We’re honored to advance that mission.”

According to Khan Academy, this is the first time the E-learning platform is receiving a donation from an NFT auction. Meanwhile, the past year saw multiple donations via NFTs after the popular NFT project Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) donated $850,000 to an orangutan protection charity.

Thank you @ParallelNFT for dedicating 100% of the proceeds of this upcoming auction to Khan Academy to fund access to education.🙏

Auctions are a tried and true way to raise money for nonprofits, but this is the first time we've been the beneficiary of an NFT auction. Onward!🚀 https://t.co/7izxcCz3gl

In addition, department store Macy also donated part of its proceeds earned from its Thanksgiving NFT themed sales to the Make-A-Wish foundation.

The popular NFT card game series Parallel currently boasts the largest trading volume in the ‘Trading Cards’ category on OpenSea. In October 2021, the company hit a valuation of $500 million after raising $50 million in a funding round led by crypto VC firm Paradigm. YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, Focus Labs, OSS Capital, and Yunt Capital participated in the round as well.
