Microsoft helps kids hospitals

April 23, 2008 in News comments 5

Microsoft has announced a partnership with the Companions in Courage Foundation, an NPO which helps sick children by offering them entertainment and Internet access to keep in touch with friends and family. The corporation's part in this will be donating Xbox 360 kiosks to many children's hospitals across the States. Donations can be made at http://www.cic16.org to help further the cause.

“Microsoft is committed to keeping kids entertained in a variety of ways within a safer gaming environment, so partnering with Companions in Courage to offer children in hospitals a way to connect through something as universal as games is a natural fit for the work we do,” [Robbie Bach, president of the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft] said. “The goal for this program is to give these kids a chance to have some fun and just be kids.”

        I wonder if thats even true, i mean billions? Seriously i can't see anyone giving away Billions to charities, unless it was accumulated through a decade, then i can see that.
        But if not, i question whether or not its true.
