Two years ago BK sent a kid to camp by raising $200. Last year we raised over $2,000 for BK members who lost their homes to tornadoes. This year I would like to send games to kids in hospitals by supporting Child’s Play.
About Child’s Play from their website:
Since 2003, we’ve set up and organized Child’s Play, a game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in our network of over 70 hospitals worldwide. Over the years, you as a community have answered the call and come together to raise millions of dollars.
Child’s Play works in two ways. With the help of hospital staff, we set up gift wish lists full of video games, toys, books, and other fun stuff for kids. By clicking on a hospital location on our map, you can view that hospital’s wish list and send a gift.
Child’s Play also receives cash donations throughout the year. With those cash donations, we purchase new consoles, peripherals, games, and more for hospitals and therapy facilities. These donations allow for children to enjoy age-appropriate entertainment, interact with their peers, friends, and family, and can provide vital distraction from an otherwise generally unpleasant experience.
If you were planning give an extra donation this month I ask you send it to child’s play threw the button on the left. It will track how many donations come from BK. (It is not instant only updates once a day I believe.) Let’s help some kids in hospitals make the time more enjoyable.
We will do this threw something called Mario Marathon. They play Mario games to raise money the more they raised the more levels of Mario they play. Last year they raised 112,000+ for Childs Play. All money donated there goes to Child’s Play.
Lets see if we can raise $500 from BK to help kids in need!
