Mission: Child's play seeks to improve the in-hospital
Programs: Started on the internet by the video and tabletop gaming community, childs play seeks to improve the in-hospital experiences of children in need through placement and donations of game consoles and other forms of electronic and non-electronic entertainment through a network of over 100 hospitals worldwide. Although our fundraising occurs throughout the year, the primary effort is focused during the holiday months, including a 478 person charity dinner and live auction in seattle, washington.
I searched for a charity where I could donate gifts for sick children for Christmas. It was Christmas and I didn't want to donate money to a hospital or for research. I wanted to help children and their parents to have a Christmas. The only website I could find to do this was Child's Play. I am not a gamer. I had never seen their website before. But, I appreciate what they do for these children and their families, as well as what they allow me to participate in.
