 Nintendo of America exclusively manufacturers Starlight Starbright Fun Centers, state-of-the-art mobile entertainment and gaming units featuring a GameCube™, DVD player, and flat screen monitor. The Fun Center design is the latest example of the company’s extraordinary commitment to the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation. With the help of Nintendo and other generous donors, more than 500 Fun Centers were placed this year in hospitals throughout North America. In addition, Nintendo continuously match Fun Center sponsorships from other corporate donors. Over the 14-year partnership between Nintendo and Starlight Starbright, Nintendo has provided hours of distraction and fun for young patients by donating games to help Starlight Starbright stock Fun Center libraries. In October 2006, Nintendo of America donated the 5,000th Fun Center to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and announced that they are increasing their corporate funding for 2007.
“Nintendo’s partnership with Starlight Starbright reminds us that together our work brings happiness to children, as the pleasure of playing video games makes the hospital stay less frightening. We’re proud to be associated with an organization that continually does such wonderful work.”
— Don James, executive vice president, Nintendo of America, Inc.
