A feel good story, people enjoying pins at a hospital forgetting their stress for a short period

Thanks swinks, been looking for a long time for a feel good story in this world. And to include pinball into it makes me happy. Got me thinking.

There is a JJP distributor in the US that is donating a percentage of each JJP pin sold to Kitty to then fund a donation of a brand new WOZ to a childrens hospital to give them something to enjoy. Another feel good story.

If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Saw this on FB today and was glad Swinksy reposted it for members on AP.
Was good to see photos of my favourite pinball designer John Borg involved as usual. Top guy.
They had the bottom of the Playfield signed by various Stern staff so that machine is a one off for sure.

Well done team Stern.  ^^^
