Alex's Arcade Fundraiser...At Dave & Busters

Alex's Arcade helps kids fight the battles of childhood cancer by escaping to the world of video games while in infusion and hospital rooms.

Alex's Arcade founded by James & Nancy Craven...Inspired by their son Alex, who at the age of 12 was diagnosed with Stage 4 Diffuse Large B cell Non Hodgkin s Lymphoma of the bone...It affected 90% of the bones in his body, and underwent 6 rounds of intense chemotherapy of 96 hours at a time. It was during his time in the hospital Alex asked for his Xbox to be brought in so he could escape reality and into the world of video games. It had a very positive effect on his attitude...it allowed him to relax and have the comforts of home right there in his hospital room...the home away from home. Very few of his various roommates had that some comfort or escape...Alex would share his games and controllers until it was time for him to go home.
Alex and his family came up with the idea of...
"What if we could put video games in all the rooms on the oncology floor...and the infusion room too?"
And that's what we plan to do...with your help we can make this a reality come true for those kids fighting the good fight and escape their reality.

Tickets to this fundraiser are $55...That includes an awesome lunch buffet...and unlimited video game play at Dave & Busters in Utica,MI
(Children ages 5 and under are free)
