In 2017, the Nicholas Pedone Foundation gifted $25,000 to Winthrop University Hospital for the Game-On Project.  As Nicholas was a big gamer, what got him through his long hospital stays at Winthrop was packing up his xBox, remote, headphones and games and setting them up in his room on a roll away TV!  We approached Winthrop and asked if we can provide the hospital with new TVs, xBox consoles, remotes, headsets and a full game library!  The Game-On Project was the first HOP4Kids project funded - we were able to equip 8 of their pediatric hospital rooms - now not only can kids game, parents get to watch streaming TV on 40inch TV screens!
