Bringing Joy to Children in Hospitals: A Successful Christmas Charity Project by ENTER FORCE.36

Every year, the festive season generates excitement and joy, especially for children. However, for many hospitalized kids, the holidays can be a challenging time. To help alleviate this, the professional eSports team ENTER FORCE.36 (E36) launched an inspiring Christmas charity project to spread hope and joy. This year, they teamed up with the aerial entertainment group, étoile, to present a groundbreaking Christmas drone show across seven facilities in Osaka and Fukuoka.

Continuing from last year’s initiative of delivering gifts of hope through their eSports successes, E36 dedicated this year’s project to illuminating the lives of children and the vital healthcare workers supporting them. The campaign was made possible through funds raised from global tournaments, profits from E36’s activities, and generous donations from partner companies.

The Christmas Drone Show

This year marked the first-ever Christmas drone show in eSports history, thanks to the special partnership with étoile. Thematic performances encapsulated messages of the value of life and warmth, transforming the night sky into a canvas of lights and colors, inspiring children and families alike.

The charity initiative included various activities:

• - December 16: At Kishiwada City Hospital, the first Christmas drone show delighted hospitalized children, featuring special visits from E36 players who delivered presents to the pediatric ward.
• - December 17: Players visited Kindai University Hospital, providing gifts and engaging with children through games, fostering uplifting interactions.
