Motive developers stream to support Quebec children’s hospitals

Motive was thrilled to partner with Opération Enfant Soleil for its first ever charity livestream in benefit of hospitalized children across Quebec.

Since launching in 1988, the nonprofit has established itself as a leader in the Quebec philanthropy and healthcare sectors by bringing high-quality pediatrics to the province, and ensuring that hospitals are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for kids. Motive is eager to partner with groups that benefit our local community's health and future, and Opération Enfant Soleil shares important values in transparency and ambition making them an excellent ally in this space.

On May 17th, our developers joined the thousands of volunteers supporting the cause by running five consecutive hours of fundraising while streaming Dead Space™, the studio’s latest release. Amongst them, Senior Producer Philippe Ducharme and Creative Director Roman Campos-Oriola took on audience challenges like playing on hard mode, playing without weapons, and running through a scene blindfolded. Together, the community of players, developers and studio members were able to raise over $7,500 in contributions.

"The solidarity that partners like Motive show year after year to the children, their families and healthcare professionals is crucial. Thanks to them, it is possible to acquire state-of-the-art equipment adapted for children, to create comfortable care environments, to ensure more children can stay closer to their homes and families while receiving care, and to support innovative research projects that allow us to go further. Together, let's continue to offer them warmth and comfort, to make a concrete difference in their care and healing journey, today and tomorrow.”
