Project Pinball Charity is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit charity that places pinball machines in Children's Hospitals, Ronald McDonald Houses, & Medical Facilities to introduce the therapeutic benefits of pinball play to kids of all ages. is dedicated to providing recreational relief to our small patients and their families as well as the physicians and nurses who care for them at our local Ch

ildren’s Hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses. A pinball machine is a powerful instrument that offers therapeutic benefits which fit perfectly with the dynamics of a hospital environment. We provide all the equipment, parts, supplies, and regular maintenance at no cost to the Children’s Hospital. We are finding out with every visit and every testimony how powerful one pinball machine in the right setting can be! This Spiderman Pinball machine, by Stern Pinball, was a memorial gift donated to the hospital in the memory of Jimmy Schneeberger February 17, 1989 – April 13, 2000. It just wasn't right to see this memorial gift in such disrepair, so we decided to change that. We have made a commitment to restore the machine and keep it on a regular maintenance schedule. This pinball machine gives the young patients motivation to get back on their feet and it also provides the family members of the patients and the support staff a little recreational lift from time to time. is to place a pinball machine in every Children’s Hospital and Ronald McDonald House across the United States. Project Pinball educates the fundamentals of the pinball machine and its uses as a beneficial tool to be used for their patients, parents, doctors, nurses, and other physicians’ needs. We place every pinball machine on location, complete set-up, provide simple operational guidelines, supply contact information in case of a malfunction or stuck ball, and introduce dedicated volunteers after background checks and paperwork is cleared. To further our mission alongside local communities, we have begun additional programs placing pinball machines in Special Education Classrooms at Schools, in Outpatient Care Facilities for all ages, and in Senior Living Facilities.
