Wigal is the founder of Gamers Outreach, which provides video games to children who can not leave the hospital room during long-term treatment, play video games during recovery.

Zach Wigal has transformed his favorite hobby into a charity that brings game consoles and relief to children with chronic illnesses.

He helped develop “GoKarts”, a portable cart with a gaming console and a series of video games that can be easily placed into the patient’s room.

Wigal said: We are now in more than 150 hospitals around the country. As a junior high school student, Wigal once organized the Halo 2 tournament in his school cafeteria.

It ended “by a policeman who believed that games like Halo, in his words, ruined the minds of American youth,” said Wigal.

This gave rise to an idea: Vigal wanted to show authorities that the players were not bad or lazy children – and could do something good with their playing skills. In 2008, Vigal and his friends organized an event called Gamers for Giving and raised money for the Autism Society of America.

The event lasted from year to year and with the increase in popularity, Wigal’s team then started working with local hospitals. “We noticed that a lot of the video games (at the hospitals) were getting stuck in playrooms,” said Wigal. “And because of that, there was a whole segment of the hospital population that was, sort of, limited to whatever it was they had access to their bedside environment.”
