West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation hasn't added a story.

Why are we gaming for Josh?

Childhood cancer isolates kids. West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation offers year-round, virtual programs to connect kids with cancer so they know they aren't alone. You can help kids with cancer by Gaming for Josh.

Josh was diagnosed with cancer when he was almost 11 years old. Like other kids his age, he connected with his friends by hopping on his Xbox and slipping into a world far from reality. In the last months of his life, Josh found moments of laughter, connection, and a "normal" teenage life while playing his favourite video games with his friends.

You can help kids with cancer by Gaming for Josh! We are calling on you and all gamers to play a video game and help kids with cancer in B.C. know they aren't alone.

 

How to participate?

1. Register

Register as an individual or create your own team.

2. Pledge to play

Decide how you are going to Game for Josh.
 For example: invite friends to play online scrabble, play a marathon of Fortnight solo, set up a FIFA tournament, or stream your game. It's totally up to you and your crew.  The important part is we're gaming to support kids with cancer.

3. Share and Fundraise 

Share your fundraising page on social media (tag @westcoastkidsfd or use #GamingForJosh) or via email and ask friends and family to donate to your fundraising page.


Together we are making a difference in the lives of kids with cancer. 

Where do the proceeds go?

All proceeds go to West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation in support of programs like WCK Hangouts.

Hangouts offer a safe virtual space where kids can explore their favourite activities and connect with their peers while engaging with our trusted volunteers. These sessions are built on the interests of the participants (like video games, art, dance, etc.) and are facilitated to reduce isolation and enhance positive mental health for kids and siblings of kids experiencing childhood cancer.
