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.
