GameTruck Announces 'Month Of Giving' For July
Mobile video game theater supports Make-A-Wish®
TEMPE, Ariz., June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- GameTruck Licensing, LLC will launch its first "Month of Giving" on July 1, 2012. Throughout the month of July, every event booked with GameTruck (with the actual event occurring in July or any month thereafter) will result in a donation of $15 to Make-A-Wish.
"We are thrilled to be associated with Make-A-Wish and we are very excited about our first official giving opportunity," said Scott Novis, founder and CEO of GameTruck. "The Month of Giving is a great chance for us to give back and for our customers to get involved in the community. We look forward to repeating the Month of Giving every year."
GameTruck aligned with Make-A-Wish earlier this year and is now a proud sponsor of the wish-granting organization and its mission to enrich the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. GameTruck--a patented mobile video game theater concept featuring flat-screen HDTVs, comfortable seating, a high-quality sound system and the latest video game consoles--and its franchise owners will participate in more than 500 Make-A-Wish chapter events throughout the year. There is a $350 donation cap for each participating franchise owner and/or trailer during the Month of Giving promotion.
GameTruck offers a premier party experience for both children and adults in an interactive, multiplayer environment that accommodates 16 or more players. Self-powered, climate-controlled GameTruck trailers are outfitted with comfortable seating, four to as many as eight flat-screen HDTVs, enhanced sound systems, more than three dozen of the latest multiplayer video games and all the major video game consoles (XBOX360®, Nintendo Wii(TM) and Playstation®3). A GameCoach manages each event, promoting fair, interactive play. Since it was founded in 2006, GameTruck has grown to 60 franchisees operating 80 GameTruck rigs in 150 territories across 23 states and Lagos, Nigeria. Expansion is underway in Canada and Trinidad and GameTruck expects to add 30 new franchisees and 60 new territories in 2012 alone, with long-range projections for 200 to 250 units covering the U.S. and Canada. GameTruck is the owner of U.S. Pat. No. 8,029,368 issued October 4, 2011.
ABOUT MAKE-A-WISH AMERICA
Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. According to a 2011 U.S. study of wish impact, most health professionals surveyed believe a wish-come-true can have positive impacts on the health of children. Kids say wishes give them renewed strength to fight their illnesses, and their parents say these experiences help strengthen the entire family. Based in Phoenix, Make-A-Wish is one of the world's leading children's charities, serving children in every community in the United States and its territories. With the help of generous donors and more than 25,000 volunteers, Make-A-Wish grants a wish somewhere in the country every 38 minutes. It has granted more than 212,000 wishes since its inception in 1980; nearly 14,000 in 2011 alone. Visit Make-A-Wish at wish.org and discover how you can share the power of a wish®.
