As for the writing of this, Gamers Outreach hasn’t revealed if they manage to reach the goal to have the funds for 100+ GO Karts, but by yesterday, they were already at the 70 mark.
For 14 consecutive years, Gamers Outreach have been running the Gamers For Giving campaign and other initiatives as part of their goal to empower hospitalized families through gaming, where activity is easily prioritized as part of care.
Their proposals are mobile gaming stations called GO Karts, that can be used for children that are in long term care in hospitals to have the opportunity to have a great time within the circumstances.
