Games4Brains

The Hydrocephalus Association's new initiative leverages the excitement of gaming to raise funds and global awareness for individuals living with hydrocephalus!

Similar to running a 5K, where participants raise money leading up to the event and then complete the race, Games4Brains lets you fundraise through play! Whether it’s video games, board games, tabletop games, or more, you can participate any day of the year.

This program supports HA’s mission to find a cure for hydrocephalus and improve the lives of those impacted by the condition. By joining Games4Brains, you help fund critical research, provide support and education for families, and raise awareness about this life-altering condition—all while having fun. Together, we play for a purpose!
