Renown Childrens Hospital: Reno, NV
In this video you are witness to the reaction of a patient as she receives her silent disco headphones which is playing her favorite jams. Along with headphones, patients and parents also receive in each of their rooms bingo cards. The game is played by calling out the bingo numbers only through the headphones. Since each player is playing from their hospital bed, winners are instructed to use their emergency buttons to announce BINGO!

Below is a letter of recommendation received from the Nevada Diabetes Association after the GGB project’s summer camp silent disco party.
”The Nevada Diabetes Association, 2nd largest provider of diabetes education camps in the US, for 21 years, has been teaching kids with diabetes how to self-manage medications, learn proper diet and exercise habits and meet other kids like themselves. +3,200 kids with diabetes attend NDA diabetes education camps every year.
The Golden Gate Bridge Project (GGBP) , brainchild of Johnno Lazetich, had a magnificent maiden voyage this last Tuesday, at the Nevada Diabetes Associations Camp Buck up at South Lake Tahoe. The GGBP is a Nevada Diabetes Association Project designed to bring healing music and Camaraderie to children dealing with health challenges. The pilot test at Camp Buck was an amazing experience for the 120 diabetic children and 80 staff members, most of whom are also type 1 diabetics. Colored strobe headphones were worn by all with different music played to different groups. The videos can be seen on the NDA’s facebook page. The experience just defies description! You will have to see it to believe it! Everyone was mesmerized by the experience and still talking about it. The GGBP will bring so much joy to so many kids that feel isolated due to health challenges. Your support of this incredible and innovative Project will help so many children dealing with chronic disease. “
