“Gamers Outreach is a powerful organization using gaming to do
amazing things for children in hospitals around the world, and
we’re grateful to be working with them again,” said Cris Keirn,
Interim CEO & SVP, Global Sales, Turtle Beach Corporation.
“When it comes to gaming and the benefits it adds to the health and
recovery of kids, this was an easy decision. We’re happy the Gamers
Outreach team came to us about donating our Recon
Controllers for their new GO Karts. This is a great initiative
we’re happy to continue supporting, and we’re looking forward to
working together again in the future.”
Gamers Outreach started its GO Karts program to provide kids
with an outlet for relief, socialization, and a sense of normalcy
during treatment in the hospital. The carts provide a safe,
flexible, and efficient way to ensure children have access to
entertainment and coping mechanisms during long-term
hospitalization. As many hospitals have adopted stricter protocols
following COVID-19, kids have experienced new levels of isolation,
and the GO Karts provide access to games and socialization even
when it can’t be in person.
"Having worked with Turtle Beach a few times already, we knew
they’d jump at the opportunity to help out with our next generation
of GO Karts so that kids in hospitals have the best gaming
experience possible,” said David Fraser, Director of Development,
Gamers Outreach. “Turtle Beach donated a generous 800 Recon
Controllers which are perfect for our new GO Karts for a
variety of reasons. They are top-quality wired controllers which
helps with security. They provide a variety of exclusive gaming
audio features when a headset is connected. They’re durable and
will provide long-term use, and as a bonus they come in just the
right color to match our GO Karts.”
Each Gamers Outreach GO Kart provides support to an estimated
2,900 hospitalized kids per year, and Turtle Beach’s 800 donated
Recon Controllers will help support upwards of 750k children
annually. The latest GO Karts featuring Turtle Beach’s Recon
Controller begin rolling out to hospitals in October, with over
250 GO Karts planned to be in hospitals by the end of 2023. The GO
Karts will be found in hospitals primarily across the U.S. and
Canada but will also be available in locations in the UK, Germany,
and Australia.
