S.T.A.G
S.T.A.G (Stay Tough And Game) is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children and families in hospitals through gaming and experience-based giving. S.T.A.G was originally imagined by Neal Ramasamy, a young cancer patient, and founded in his honor.
Our Mission
S.T.A.G’s mission is to create moments of joy and connection for children and their families undergoing long-term treatment.
We bring this mission to life through two core sides of our work:
Service Pillar
We partner with hospitals to bring gaming setups, donations, and creative events directly to children and their families. Gaming is one of the few safe activities in hospitals, helping kids laugh, play, and feel like themselves again. Beyond gaming, we focus on restoration — supporting the emotional well-being of the entire family during challenging times.
Fundraising Pillar
Our fundraisers are designed to be as meaningful as the experiences we create for kids. We bring people together through events that reflect Neal’s spirit – joyful, creative, and full of connection. Supporting S.T.A.G isn’t just about giving; it’s about being part of a community that spreads joy and comfort to children in hospitals.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create experiences that unite communities, local businesses, and donors in support of children and families in hospitals. Through S.T.A.G, we carry forward Neal’s joy, imagination, and love for life. Every fundraiser and every effort goes directly toward helping kids, turning support into moments that truly make a difference.
