AbleGamers Teams with Play to Give Back to Offer Disabled Gamers a Way to Enjoy Their Favorite Games

AbleGamers has announced an all new partnership with Play to Give Back that will see the group raise enough money to outfit vehicles with some of the latest games and video game hardware. The vehicles will then travel around the country to children's hospitals and similar sites to allow disabled gamers to enjoy some of the best titles available today. The program will being on May 30th, so read on for more details.

This incredible project answers one of AbleGamers most difficult questions: How does AbleGamers reach gamers with disabilities who can’t come to conferences, shows or expos to get the assistance they need to play video games no matter their disabilities?

Answer: AbleGamers constructs a first-of-its-kind, king-sized vehicle, filled to the brim with all of the assistive technology, electronics, devices, and video game systems it can hold, and takes that miracle-on-wheels to all of the children’s hospitals, veteran centers, and long-term assisted-living facilities across the country, bringing accessibility to those often left out.

Starting on May 30th, AbleGamers will jumpstart this $200,000 project by holding a 12-hour Mario Kart 8 marathon.

On September 12th, the Driving Home Accessibility streams will come together for a giant three-day event where teams of streamers will come together for the cause of accessibility.

The fun culminates on October 18th for AbleGamers 2nd annual AbleGamers Day event at AbleGamers headquarters outside of Washington, DC.

reEach month from May until October will bring a new event, bigger and better than the one before it, featuring more and more support from industry leaders who have already signed on to support the project. And every dime raised over $200,000 will enable us to give away the assistive technology we bring to each city.
