GameWorks Distributing Free Glow Sticks To Keep Kids Safe on Halloween

GameWorks, Inc., a full entertainment and dining experience for millennials, teens and families with seven locations nationwide, announced today that it is donating approximately 20,000 glow sticks to help keep children safe and visible this Halloween.

The glow sticks are being distributed to local law enforcement agencies, schools, events and community centers and programs in preparation for Halloween throughout the seven markets GameWorks serves nationwide.

In addition, for those that choose to spend Halloween at a GameWorks venue, double tickets will be offered all day, meaning guests have the opportunity to earn redemption prizes much faster. Additionally, kids can eat free from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM.

“Community service is an important corporatewide initiative at GameWorks, and this glow stick giveaway is another example of how important our local guests are to us and how we strive to positively impact the communities in which we operate. The glow sticks are designed to help illuminate and identify children at night to aid in keeping them safe and visible,” noted Philip Kaplan, chief executive officer at GameWorks.

“At GameWorks, we are all about fun. By distributing glow sticks throughout the communities we serve, we are helping ensure children have a fun night while they trick or treat safely in their local neighborhoods. If our guests choose to visit GameWorks anytime on Halloween, they can also enjoy special offers and promotions while remaining safe indoors,” Kaplan said.

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
