Love Across America Tour 2020

Project Pinball Charity presents Love Across America Tour 2020
Placing Pinball Machines across the Northeast U.S During the Holidays

December 1st, 2020 Project Pinball’s Love Across America Tour 2020 “Winter Edition”

The majority of our viewership are first-timers in the pinball community, but we do also have many friends, supporters, and followers who have been avid in the community for many years who reach out to us. We offer our services to aid them in making a difference in their local community.

Our goal is to get everyone super excited about our upcoming LAA Tour and to have many new friends made in the process of where our travels lead us this December. We will be dedicating 8 pinball machines in the span of 14 days and travel over an estimated 6,000+ miles! We will be showcasing our entire journey with the help of great supporters and be posting daily on our social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, and more.

Travel Plans

The Project Pinball Team plans to travel from Fort Myers, FL to as far north as Akron, OH then as far West as St. Louis, MO. These travels will be taking us through some of our favorite communities that have shown support of our charity’s mission from the very beginning. However, due to the current circumstances that have to do with COVID-19, we are not making any extra stops along our journey this time around. Our travels are purely for the purpose of dedicating the pinball machines to each location and heading onto the next.

Proper precautions are being taken into consideration at all times, including but not limited to personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks, gloves, etc. We have been in contact and continue to keep a close eye on the status of the locations in which we are planning to visit, constant communication is key between Project Pinball and each facility to ensure safety for all.

Dedications

Project Pinball Charity will be dedicating 8 pinball machines in 14 days!
Starting with our very first dedication on December 1st in St. Petersburg, FL at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital where we will be placing a donated Hook pinball machine.
