SAN DIEGO, Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading gaming
headset and audio accessory brand Turtle Beach (Nasdaq: HEAR) and
its Hamburg, Germany-based PC
brand ROCCAT, today announced their line-up of brand ambassadors
coming together to stream for the Gamers Outreach charity. Turtle
Beach and ROCCAT will take over the Spooktacular Screamathon event
tomorrow, Thursday, October 29, 2020
starting as early as 8:00 a.m. ET,
and fans can follow their favorite ambassadors as they stream
throughout the day, as well as donate during the streams. Turtle
Beach, ROCCAT, and their ambassadors aim to raise and donate over
$25,000 for Gamers Outreach's Project
GO Kart program, which creates portable video game kiosks for
hospitals that are beneficial for patients, doctors, nurses, and
child life specialists as they provide bedside recreation for
children unable to leave their hospital rooms. Turtle Beach and
ROCCAT ambassadors participating in the stream takeover include
KayPea, Scump, JZR, FabuRocks, Erin Ashley
Simon, and Kontrol Freak. Be sure to check out each of their
Twitch channels tomorrow, and contributions can be made by going to
the Turtle Beach Spooktacular Screamathon fundraising page.
"Gamers Outreach is a wonderful organization working for an
amazing cause, and we're grateful to continue working together to
support their effort to provide more game kiosks for hospitals,"
said Juergen Stark, Chairman and
CEO, Turtle Beach. "With many hospitals not allowing visitors due
to COVID-19 precautions, the ability for patients – kids in
particular – to play games and keep themselves entertained is more
important now than ever before. So, a sincere 'thank you' to Gamers
Outreach for all the tremendous work they do, and I'm very proud of
what we are all doing as a part of this program."
Gamers Outreach started its GO Karts initiative provide kids
with an outlet for relief, socialization, and a sense of normalcy
during treatment in the hospital. The carts provide a safe,
flexible, and efficient way to ensure children have access to
entertainment and coping mechanisms during long-term
hospitalization. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, Gamers Outreach
has received a surge in requests for more GO Karts. With many
hospitals adopting stricter protocols, kids are experiencing new
levels of isolation. GO Karts create access to games and
socialization even when it can't be in person.
"Gamers Outreach is thrilled to have the opportunity to work
with Turtle Beach and ROCCAT," said David
Fraser, Director of Development, Gamers Outreach. "Their
dedication to making positive impact in the community is exemplary
and demonstrates all the great things about gaming."
During the Spooktacular Screamathon, every $3,500 will provide a GO Kart to a hospital. The
funds raised will go directly towards sending new GO Karts to the
hospitals of choice of Turtle Beach and ROCCAT's ambassadors. These
hospitals are located all around the
United States and will provide gaming to thousands of kids
annually.
