Children's Hospital launches "Game-a-thon"

April 20, 2009, The Boston Globe — Children's Hospital Boston said its Generation Cures initiative has launched a "Game for Good" game-a-thon for tweens as part of its fund-raising efforts.

The two-month competition lets "tweens use their gaming powers for good to fuel the discovery of cures and treatments for serious childhood diseases," the hospital said in a press release that included the photo that accompanies this post.
