Born from a father’s love and a family’s resilience, we deliver holistic pediatric support—from game rooms and equine therapy to scholarships and stress reduction research—to children facing life-threatening illness worldwide.
GameChanger was founded in 2007 by Jim Carol and his son Taylor, during Taylor’s five-year battle with pediatric cancer. For Taylor, gaming was more than entertainment—it was a lifeline. It gave him moments of joy, connection with friends, and the ability to be himself in the middle of treatment.
Inspired by his resilience, Jim and Taylor built GameChanger Charity to share that same hope and comfort with other children facing life-threatening illnesses. Nearly two decades later, the mission continues—powered by advocates, partners, and an all-volunteer team around the world.
