Easterseals is excited to announce the return of its highly anticipated ES Gaming Tournament on December 12, 2024, spotlighting teams of disabled gamers playing Fortnite. Competing in groups of four, players will showcase their skills while highlighting the importance of supportive communities in the gaming world. The event will be streamed live on Easterseals’ Twitch channel, inviting everyone to tune in and be part of the action.

Fortnite is a popular online multiplayer game where players compete in fast-paced battles across various modes, including the widely known Battle Royale. The game is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring customizable controls, visual and audio accessibility settings, and cross-platform play. Its dynamic gameplay and regular updates make it engaging for both casual and competitive gamers worldwide.

The tournament is proudly sponsored by Neighborhood LTC Pharmacy, a community-focused pharmacy dedicated to providing personalized care and support for individuals and families. With a mission rooted in compassion and service, they strive to enhance the well-being of their neighbors through accessible healthcare solutions and meaningful community initiatives. Their support highlights the growing recognition of gaming as a valuable platform for connection and empowerment.

Scott Louderback, founder of Neighborhood LTC Pharmacy, shared his excitement for the event: "Neighborhood LTC Pharmacy's founding principles are centered around caring for our neighbors and communities. We're excited to support the ES Gaming initiative and their efforts to create an online community where disabled gamers can connect with others, broadening their social experience in an ever-more-virtual world."

This event marks a significant milestone for ES Gaming, as it continues to build a vibrant online community that celebrates and promotes accessibility in gaming. By highlighting the skills of disabled gamers, the tournament aims to challenge stereotypes and foster a welcoming culture in gaming communities.

Viewers can watch the live Twitch broadcast on December 12 to see the squads compete in an action-packed tournament. The stream will feature intense gameplay and highlight the experiences of the participants, as well as Easterseals programs nationwide.

ES Gaming, powered by Easterseals, is creating an online gaming community that fosters connections through shared experiences. There are also local ES Gaming clubs in Easterseals Affiliate locations, and some of the participants will compete in the Tournament.
