]]> GameChanger to Direct Donations to Hawaii, Pledges 100 Years of Gaming

As many of you are aware, the core of GameChanger’s mission has always been to support children, families, and caregivers through the power of gaming and tech. In light of the recent wildfires in Hawaii, GameChanger is extending its reach to provide crucial support to those in need during these tough times.

The fires in Hawaii have brought widespread devastation, which is significantly impacting the lives of countless children and families, leaving many hospitalized, without homes, or with loved ones. Our hearts go out to those affected, and we are determined to do everything in our power to help.

Throughout the past sixteen years, we have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact gaming can have on children’s well-being, serving as an important source of comfort, distraction, and joy during challenging times. In light of the situation in Maui and on the Big Island, we have made the decision to direct all donations received this week (8/13 to 8/20) towards supporting the children, families, and caregivers impacted by this disaster.

On top of directing donations, we have pledged 100 years of gaming to Kapiolani Medical Center through the form of Xbox Ultimate Game Passes. Thanks to Xbox, these Game Passes will allow patients to game through the cloud on any device they are provided with, allowing for access to 100s of premium gaming titles right from their hospital bed. 

Hospital and Donation Information

The Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children, located in Honolulu, is Hawaii’s only specialty care facility for women and children, and is committed to serving all islands. According to sources, many of those affected by the tragedy in Maui and Big Island are being transported to The Kapiolani Medical Center. 

Donations made to GameChanger this week will bring gaming, books, clothes, toys, and other items to hospitalized children, their families, and caregivers. Donations will help cover shipping/packing costs, and will go toward providing as many goodies as possible for children to enjoy.  Every three people that donate $40 will ship a box of games, clothes, books, toys, and other goodies to kids at Kapiolani Medical Center. We ask for your support so that we can send as many items as possible, as fast as possible, to as many children as possible.

If you would like to make a physical donation of goods, whether it be clothes, gaming items, collectibles, books, or toys, please contact us.

We implore you to support the children, families, and caregivers in need during this difficult time. If you would like to make a contribution, please locate the “Donate” button on the bottom right of our site.. We also request you pass this along to friends and family who may be interested in supporting our relief fund. 

Thank you for your continued support. Please keep those affected by the wildfires in your thoughts.

The post This Week at GameChanger: UC Davis Children’s Hospital Drop-off first appeared on GameChanger Charity.

]]> This week, GameChanger Board of Advisor member Brent Carlson and intern Jacob Carlson had the opportunity to perform a heartwarming act of kindness to UC Davis Children’s Hospital (UCDCH) in Sacramento, CA. Their goal was to spread joy and bring smiles to the young patients.


Even Huggy, UCDCH’s lovable therapy dog, joined in on the action, making the experience more memorable. Brent and Jacob were able to create and distribute 24 thoroughly curated gift bags, each one tailored to suit the specific age, needs, and preferred gaming console of the recipient. This ensured they received the perfect surprise – a gift bag of goodies that could be used during their hospital stays and brought home with them after they’re released! Each gift bag included a video game, two pieces of gaming-related clothing, a book, and a toy/trinket. 

 

GameChanger is deeply committed to making a difference in the lives of hospitalized children by bringing happiness and a sense of normalcy to children through the power of gaming. We are lucky to have the support of talented individuals like Brent and Jacob committed to the mission. 

 

Thank you to Brent and Jacob Carlson, UC Davis Children’s Hospital, Huggy the dog, and everyone involved for making this drop-off as easy and as impactful as possible. Together, we can change the game and leave the world a better place than we found it – one child at a time.

What is MineChanger?

It’s time to change the game with MineChanger! Join 52 Minecraft content creators as they face a brave new survival challenge in a customized world where they’ll interact with fellow creators, mine for resources, and face-off against one another in minigame challenges throughout the event. Donations can directly impact a creator’s experience, both positively and negatively! How will you change the game? 

 

MineChanger, in collaboration with 1N Productions, will take place on June 16 at 4pm EST on various content creators streams (more on this below). The event will last roughly three hours, with the goal of raising as much money as possible for hospitalized children and bringing them the joy of gaming. Creators will spawn into a world, work as if it’s a Minecraft survival server and have the freedom to do whatever they want… But the big twist? Donations directly impact how the game is played. As milestones are met, the map will expand, new areas will be unlocked, minigames will be triggered, and we may have a few surprises here and there.

NOTE: Make sure to join the GameChanger Discord to stay up to date with all things MineChanger, our events, and GCC: discord.gg/gdpHUcDRXM 

How do I donate?

Donations for MineChanger will be available on the date itself through a custom Tiltify page (which can be found on the streams themselves), with specific goals and milestones which will directly impact the game and the streamers when hit. When donating, you will be prompted with a list of effects that you can choose, which can impact random streamers or the entire server. It’s up to you, the audience, to decide how the game will play out!

 

Where can I watch MineChanger?

To watch MineChanger, tune into any of the 52 content creator’s streams. To donate, locate the donation link once you tune into a stream. Come join us and your favorite creators to change the game on June 16!

Did you know that pediatric inpatients often suffer from anxiety, depression, and even PTSD? Studies show that distraction therapy at the bedside, like gaming, helps to not only lower pain scores, but also enables better mental health. This is just one of the reasons why we are teaming up with other nonprofit organizations on May 17 for Imagining Mental Wellness! 

 

On May 17, we will attempt to raise $20,000 (for a total of $350,000 across all participating nonprofits) to help fund research, provide resources, and raise awareness for critical mental health needs. In our case, we’ll be using the funding to focus our efforts on the betterment of children’s mental health in hospitals. To help support our cause, Capital Group has pledged to match all donations up to $10,000! Thank you to Capital Group for supporting our mission.

 

We will begin accepting donations on May 16 at 12pm and will accept further donations until May 17 at midnight. CLICK HERE to check out our fundraising page and explore all the ways we’ll be supporting children’s mental health. Make sure to return to this page on during May 16th or 17th to place your donation and pledge your support for critical mental health needs. Place your donation early to take advantage of the matching donation offered by Capital Group!

 

See you tomorrow, GameChangers!

Long Beach to Salt Lake City Trip Starts February 14

The 2023 edition of GameChanger’s “Road Trip For Good” has begun. This multi-city, multi-stop campaign was originally revealed and completed back in 2021 (from San Diego to Seattle) during a time when hospitalized children were more isolated than ever. The goal of the road trip is to raise awareness of GameChanger and bring hope, joy, and happiness to sick children who are being treated with debilitating illnesses. The decision to bring it back in 2023 was an easy one. We find it be a powerful and fun way to do what GameChanger does best: deliver goodies and games to sick kids.

This time, GameChanger Charity founder, Jim Carol, will visit a total of six cities and six hospitals. He will begin his ten day, thousand-mile long journey on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) in Long Beach, CA where he will make his first drop-off. He will stay in California to drop off in Mission Viejo then Orange. After, he will head up the Interstate 15 and fourteen hours later will arrive in Utah. GameChanger will visit three more cities in Utah such as Saint George and Orem. He will then head to the capital of Utah, Salt Lake City, to make his final visit on February 24 to end the trip.

Over $60,000 Worth of Goods to be Donated

Over the course of the trip, GameChanger will be donating approximately $60,000 total worth of Minecraft clothing, toys, and merchandise. Thank you to Microsoft and Mojang for the donations! Alongside the Minecraft goodies, we will be giving over 3,000 video games to the hospitals, courtesy of EA. Gifts will go directly to the hospitals and the many sick children that are isolated inside of them. Jim will be picking up these goodies during his trip.

For those interested in adding more to the amount of goodies, GameChanger is always accepting monetary and item donations. To find out more on how you can donate to GameChanger and improve this trip (and many more), click here.

The post GameChanger Returns to Social Media and Reviews 2022 first appeared on GameChanger Charity.

]]> Despite striving to be a beacon of good and joy in our communities, GameChanger wasn’t exempt from the difficulties that the entire world struggled with during the past couple of years. You may have noticed our social media pages, including this blog, have gone quiet. This was largely due to GameChanger committing to moving to a model of all volunteers. It presented us with many difficult hurdles to overcome, but the challenges have only helped us learn and prepare for the future of GameChanger.

Though these times were difficult, we at GameChanger never strayed from our mission: To change the game for sick kids. That still remains priority number one! The last couple of years were especially difficult for hospitalized children who, during the pandemic, were more isolated than ever. This motivated us more than anything.  With our absence on social media, we realize that you may have not heard about the amazing things GameChanger has been doing recently so we’d like to get you caught up:

  • We partnered with EA to bring consoles, games, and love to hospitalized kids. GameChanger was able to deliver over 825,000 hours of gaming for hospitalized kids and families. We were also able to provide educational services and gifts of EA games for kids to bring home from their hospital stays. 
  • Donated Playwell gaming systems to 7 children’s hospitals. These systems empowered hospitalized children with the power of gaming and entertainment.
  • When the war in Ukraine broke out, GameChanger sent aid to displaced Ukrainian children with illnesses.
  • Provided funding for 5 college scholarships to students that instead of being at school, were stuck in hospital rooms.
  • Began work with top-ranking pediatric health care providers to test patients using video games to keep them on mental health, diabetes, and asthma protocols. In this program, children get video game downloads when they do their protocols.
  • Dropped off gifts while traveling from San Francisco to San Diego during our “Road Trip for Good” program.

Because of our disappearance from social media, we weren’t able to keep our amazing supporters updated, which is something we never want to happen again. We have some incredible things planned for 2023 and want to bring everyone along for the ride. By the time you’re reading this, our social media accounts will have been relaunched. Follow our journey and change the game in your own ways:
