Microsoft did a good thing when it teamed up with the Children’s Miracle Network to give three hospitals Xbox 360 game rooms. I still think it would be great if they gave the fourth place hospital a gameroom too, but I think I already covered that. Anyway, the three winning hospitals have finally been announced after the voting ended on Saturday night.
According to the official website, Hurley Medical Center in Flint, MI (that’s my local hospital, btw) came in first followed by the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital and The Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Hopefully this giveaway spurred more donations and other kids will ultimately benefit even though they didn’t get a $10,000 gameroom from Microsoft. Congrats, everyone and let the Xbox-assisted healing begin.
Come on Nintendo! Here’s a nice chance!
I think it is great that they are making the donations but who is going to be keeping an eye on the stuff at Hurley? I give it a week before everything is stolen and/or broken.
Not sure if you are still in the area as you mention it is your home hospital but come back for a visit and spend a day, or better yet, a night hanging around Hurley.
