2. Our Mission and Values Gamers Outreach (GO) Foundation is a video-game industry charity organization that works to use interactive entertainment in ways that improve the lives of others. Simply put, we use video games to help people out!
3. A Specific Program and It’s Goal Project GO Kart is to give hospitals game kiosks for patients that can’t leave their rooms very often. Long term hospitalization can be lonely, stressful, and frightening. GO Karts help improve the dispositions of the patients. We are trying to give qualitative products to the hospitals This photo is what a game kiosk looks like.
4. Inputs We need money to get supplies to build the game kiosks. We need to find hospitals that wants one.
5. Processes Get funds for this program. Get the materials to make the game kiosks. Build the game kiosks. Ship the finished game kiosks to the hospitals.
6. Outputs So far we are helping 2 hospitals one in Michigan, the other in Texas. We gave the Mott Children Hospital in Michigan two game kiosks and we want to give them five.
7. Outcomes Giving these GO Karts to the hospitals can help the long term patients that are there and can’t leave their rooms. And because they can’t leave their rooms they are curtailed from others. Through the GO Karts they can interact with others online.
8. Community Needs Many patients have to stay at the hospital for long periods of times. Some are probably stuck in their rooms most of the time. Even though we are based in Michigan we are trying to help hospitals outside the state.
9. Funding Institution We need funding for our Go Karts. We are using technology to help better the lives of others. Because we are using technology we think that The Shuttle Worth Foundation would be interested in our program. We are currently working with Mott Children Hospital in Michigan. We want to streamline the project to be able to get hospitals outside of Michigan. We have just begun working with Veterans Hospital of Dallas, Texas
