The 2nd of 7 for this part of our 12th Love Across America Tour and this one is extra meaningful. All dedications are truly all special in their own ways but this dedication had much more of an impact on those in the room.

Today we proudly placed pinball machine #85 at the Ronald McDonald House – Aurora House in Denver.

This dedication was especially meaningful because of the machine itself. The game is Dean Grover’s personal Spider-Man Home Edition prototype, a piece that carries a powerful story and legacy. It was a plain cabinet, parts, pieces, and a dream.

With the incredible support of Stern Pinball and Marco Specialties, we were able to add the official artwork so this prototype now feels just like the other Home Edition machines found around the nation. Moments like this remind us why our mission matters. By placing pinball machines in children’s hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses nationwide, we aim to create small moments of joy, distraction, and connection for families facing incredibly difficult circumstances.

We are also deeply grateful to be in a position where these dedications can bring meaning and closure to the family and friends of loved ones who have passed and are dearly missed. Honoring their memory through something that brings smiles to others is one simple way we hope to help carry their legacy forward.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support this mission and make moments like this possible.

2023 Re-Dedication of Iron Man to Children’s Colorado

     

This one is another one for you, Dean Grover!

We all miss you dearly and hope to continue adding to your legacy for years to come.

#PinballForAll

A hashtag we adopted from Inclusive GameWerks when they reached out to Project Pinball Charity in 2022, aiming to share the benefits of their adaptive controller with our mission. Flash forward 3 years later, and the world of accessible pinball is exploding, thanks to Inclusive GameWerks and many companies and individuals with the same goal, making #pinballforall!

John Mohler, a writer at New Mobility Magazine, connected with the PPC Team a few months before Pinball Expo, interested in covering a story of how pinball is making strides in accessibility. John visited the PPC Booth at 41st Pinball Expo to check out the 3rd Annual Freedom to Play Pinball Tournament and chat with the pinball community.

This journey turned into an amazing story of the many faces in pinball looking to increase access for players of all kinds, and finally after 40 years, John was able to play pinball again! Check out the article here written by John Mohler from New Mobility Magazine: https://newmobility.com/flipping-accessible-the-people-and-devices-tilting-pinball-toward-access

John – we can never thank you enough for your support and getting this story to new audiences that deserve to be included in the pinball world, no matter the circumstances

The post 1st Holiday Surprise: NEW Raffle for LE Walking Dead Remastered🧟 appeared first on Project Pinball.

Dedication of Iron Man by Stern Pinball on 04/04/2016 to Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, MD

Starting in 2011, Project Pinball Charity became a grassroots organization and 13 years later continues to work alongside local communities fundraising for access to pinball therapy. Our goal is to provide recreational respite, relief, and rehabilitation in Children’s Hospitals and Ronald McDonald House Charities to patients of all ages, as well as their families and the staff that care for them, through our Pinball Placement Program!

Since then we’ve placed 83 pinball machines in 29 states with the help of pinball communities aiming to care for their own backyards. Countless testimonials show the strength of our collective mission, like this one from Child Life Teacher Andrei Massenkoff at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in San Francisco, CA:

“Pinball is an exceptionally interactive, fun, and sensory experience. Bringing a pinball machine into a children’s hospital exposes children and families to pinball, – some for the very first time – giving them the excitement of the opportunity to explore something that is more than likely a novelty to them. One thing that makes pinball at a children’s hospital very useful is the fact that pinball is a physical game, but a game a child can exert control over by simply pressing two buttons in a way that is not physically demanding. Pinball also offers a patient distraction from any potentially negative aspects of a hospital experience through pinball play.”

Will you pitch in and help us expand the reach of pinball therapy across the nation? If so, thank you so much for your support and please share our Giving Tuesday Campaign with the people in your life – because who doesn’t need a reason to smile today! Check out all locations in our Pinball Placement Program on our Impact Page.
