Connecting Joy

Gaming is an excellent way to help hospitalized children stay engaged in a fun activity that is adaptable to all energy and ability levels and allows them to remain connected to family and friends.

Dunkin’ Connecting Joy helps bring comprehensive gaming programs to hospitals nationwide. Gaming is not only a wonderful activity for kids of all ages and abilities, it can help provide them with a sense of normalcy and connection while hospitalized, providing positive distraction from their ongoing care. These grants support hospitals with equipment, staffing, connectivity, and other relevant needs so that kids can enjoy gaming experiences at their bedside and even play with family and friends back home.
