Gaming for Good
About Gaming for Good
Much like ESL’s grassroots beginnings, Gamers Outreach was founded by a group of high school gamers in Saline, Michigan while volunteering at local hospitals. ESL will help to raise awareness and proceeds to support Gamers Outreach and their network of nearly 200 hospitals and more than 1.25 million children.
ESL in partnership with Gamers Outreach
As ‘Gaming for Good’ being a natural progression to fulfil ESL’s brand purpose, ESL is happy to take a leadership position and using its reach to do good and to give back to society. The partnership allows ESL to support children in hospitals, where gaming can serve as a connection to the outside world, since undergoing medical treatment can often be a scary and isolating experience, especially for young people.
ESL is committed to working with Gamers Outreach to create awareness and fundraising campaigns that supports the organization’s programs.
Comment of the founder
“As longtime esports enthusiasts, our team is beyond excited to work with ESL in a formal capacity. Hospitalization can often be a lonely, isolating experience for patients receiving treatment, but on a daily basis, we see the incredible impact games have on the lives of families. Video games are tools that help normalize healthcare environments, and our organization is committed to making video game content available and easy to manage. Games help produce a sense of joy, facilitate socialization, and can even assist with treatment. This partnership with ESL is an incredible opportunity for the community to make a difference in the lives of gamers receiving medical care. We’re proud to work with the team at ESL to raise awareness and support for Gamers Outreach programs.”
