September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Dunkin’ is teaming up with Comcast Business to bring joy to children battling cancer through the power of gaming. In partnership with esports infrastructure company Nerd Street, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation and Comcast Business are spreading awareness for this important cause. Pediatric patients often face loneliness and the feeling of isolation from their peers, family, and friends due to long term and overnight hospitalizations. The Dunkin’ Connecting Joy program brings joy to patients at children’s hospitals through the power of virtual programming, including video gaming, that provides an outlet for them to work on cognitive skills, gain a sense of mastery and control, and offer positive distractions that help them better cope with hospitalization. Gaming has shown to be a critical tool in improving a child’s hospital experience and overall healing process.
