:: PROJECT GO KART ::
Gamers Outreach funds the construction of portable gaming kiosks we like to call GO Karts (Gamers Outreach Karts). GO Karts are used to provide entertainment to patients in hospitals who have a limited amount of access to activities outside of their rooms. Thanks to GO Karts, hospital staff members are able to easily transport video games and other sources of entertainment to patients who are stuck in bed or immobile for long periods of time.
Long-term hospitalization can often times be a lonely stressful, and frightening experience. GO Karts help to ease the burdens associated with hospital stays by providing sources of relief and entertainment to patients.
:: FUN FOR OUR TROOPS ::
The Fun For Our Troops initiative supplies video game care-packages to U.S. soldiers serving overseas. Never far from our hearts and minds, many of our service men and women are gamers, and they rely on game play as a way to decompress and lift their spirits. Fun For Our Troops was founded with the mission of aiding in stress relief and relaxation by providing high tech and interactive games to deployed troops.
