Riot Games has started its yearly charity initiative for 2025 via the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, and this year’s skin is a Panda Pal Lux. Players can now pick it up in League of Legends and support global charitable efforts through in-game character cosmetics. The initiative will last for a limited time, with a donation window available until December 3, 2025.

Panda Pal Lux is the latest skin in the lineup of Social Impact Fund skins, continuing Riot’s history of pairing all cosmetic releases to philanthropic endeavors. The skin features aesthetics in line with Chinese aesthetics, borrowing elements that reference Mount Qingcheng and regional culinary fare like Sichuan hot pot. The restyling for Lux’s abilities features panda-based visuals and animations along with other festive peripherals, with options for chroma variants.
The skin price is 1350 RP, in line with many standard skins players would expect at that price point, making this skin more accessible for many of the player base.
Matching and Donation Structure
One of the main benefits of the Social Impact Fund skin program is that it is a charitable donation. Starting 5th November until 3rd December 2025, 100% of proceeds from purchases of Panda Pal Lux will be donated to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, which contributes to organizations worldwide focused on education, community development, and social justice.
In addition to that, during the event period, Riot Games will match the donations at a 2× rate. This means that every Skin purchase exceeds the individual cost of the skin purchased, enabling meaningful support for ongoing global initiatives.
In the End, After The Window

After the donation and matching period ends, Panda Pal Lux will still be available in the store, but any revenue generated after the deadline will not be matched in the Social Impact Fund Donation program, so if you are thinking of maximizing your impact, consider purchasing the skin before the deadline of 3rd December.
