Proceeds from month long fundraiser to support hope lodge for health care providers and cancer patients in need.

SEATTLE – May 5, 2020 – FlowPlay, creator of one of the most powerful immersive gaming platforms, today announced the start of a new in-game fundraising campaign for the year on behalf of the American Cancer Society (ACS). During the month of May, players within FlowPlay’s flagship social casino, Vegas World, can contribute directly to the ACS’s Hope Lodge program, which has responded to the COVID-19 crisis by providing rooms for health care providers to rest between shifts or stay overnight.

On the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors, nurses and other medical professionals are often working gruelling 24-hour shifts in high stress, high-risk environments. Many are also spending the night in their cars or in hotel rooms, fearful of spreading the virus to their loved ones at home. All funds from FlowPlay’s campaign will directly support the ACS Hope Lodge program which provides thousands of free rooms for cancer patients who must travel away from home for treatment. During the pandemic, ACS has repurposed its lodging facilities to support health care providers.

“Because our Hope Lodge facilities are located near medical centers, we have a unique opportunity to support front line healthcare workers,” said Howard Heino, Vice President of Hope Lodge Operations for the American Cancer Society. “We’ve always been about saving lives and we’re humbled to step forward during this unprecedented time in this special way. We also look forward to once again serving cancer patients as soon as it’s safe to do so. We’re extremely grateful to FlowPlay and the Vegas World community for their support in these critical efforts.”
