Testimonials

Donations to our Extra Life program help us to be able to provide comprehensive care to kids treated at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.  By donating games and helping to fill the birthday and toy storage closet, our activity coordinators ensure kids have access to distractions during medical care. Thank you to the attendees of the EsportsNext 2022 Conference for helping to make a difference in the lives of Chicago’s kids.

Play games, fundraise, and together, we can Change Kids' Health to Change the Future!

The Coalition of Parents in Esports (COPE) mission is to revolutionize esports by getting parents involved, removing the negative stigmas that are outdated, educating parents on how to support this passion, raising awareness on the education benefits, informing on the many career paths, providing resources to make esports more rewarding, and providing scholarships to aspiring athletes.

Start Game, the Scrims Center Foundation, is a 501c3 charitable organization dedicated to providing access to computer video gaming and esports to low-income, minority, and other groups with limited access. Start Game provides education and experience to highlight opportunities and foster career readiness in this fast-growing industry.
