We have been fortunate to partner with local organizations Make-A-Wish® and Endless Highway, Inc. They help adolescents and young adults with challenges fulfill their wishes and bringing inclusivity to everyone.
Make-A-Wish®
Make-A-Wish® is a nonprofit organization that grants the wishes of children with critical illnesses. With their first wish granted in 1980, now in 2019, more than 315,000 children have benefited from the hope, strength and joy of experiencing their one heartfelt wish.
But what happens when a wish is seemingly impossible?
- Like sending a child to Saturn
- Playing football with your team again?
VR (Virtual Reality) is the perfect way to grant the wishes.
In April with partnered with Western New York Make-A-Wish to demonstrate how VR can be utilized to fulfill the wishes. The following stories and videos highlight how VR can make a difference.
Zayden’s Wish:
Commander Zayden blasted off to Saturn from Dobbins Air Reserve Base. In his voyage, he saw the moon and the stars and finally met his friendly alien companion, Beebo.
Keannu’s Wish:
Keannu, a natural leader on and off the field just wanted to play football with his team again.
Endless Highway
Endless Highway is a not for profit foundation, dedicated to providing children and young adults with physical disabilities, support, resources and equipment to participate in recreation, sports and the arts. Believing any body is an able body and strive to facilitate hassle-free inclusion for all.
In March we hosted an afternoon for 15 disabled youth and their families. The greatest compliment we heard, was that we were able to disassociate the individual from their wheelchair! Below are some of the pictures:
Looking to partner? Set up a meeting with Isai today to see how we can collaborate.
