Ritzio’s President received Charity Award

“The IGA’s Heart Award recognizes individuals from the Gaming/Leisure Industry that take time to help others without any recognition or reward for themselves, as examples to others to also involve themselves in helping their fellow humans”, commented Colin Thompson, the Co-Founder of the International Gaming Awards (IGA). "The IGA strongly felt after hearing that Oleg Boyko had spent much of his time and effort in helping others strive to achieve their goals in the face of the their own disabilities. That the IGA should recognize Boyko’s great compassion and care for others".
