Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Computer Science program raised $125 for Child’s Play Charity during their annual 24-hour livestream on Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1.
The computer science members of the program gathered in Shockley Hall in the Bill and Billie Buckles Computer Science and Robotics Labs. They played games such as League of Legends, Fortnite and Overwatch some of the games were played in teams and others as single players.
Child’s Play Charity website states that it is “A game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in our network of over a hundered hospitals worldwide.”
There are two ways to donate: You can give money, or you can go to the map on the website and pick a hospital. It will then redirect you to an amazon wishlist full of toys you can send them directly.
Child’s Play works with hospital staff members to find out what toys the children want and then they make a wishlist out of it.
