The National Parenting Publication Awards have selected Generation Cures as a 2009 Honors Winner. From their website:
This site has a strong mission: to raise awareness as to how young people and families can raise funds for research at Children’s Hospital that find cures for childhood illnesses. There is a lot of great content, and the games and interactive media are kid-friendly, although the site itself is less so and navigation is a bit tricky at first. But the media for kids is well-designed and very engaging; the messaging of the site is consistent and kids definitely learn about helping others. Additionally, the site is socially responsible and has information relevant to parents, as well as kids.
“The games are fun and the animation is cool. I like that the site tries to get kids involved in raising money to help sick children. It shows that it’s pretty easy to get your friends and other kids at school interested in helping to raise money, too.”
– Kid Tester
