Just a quick one today. I wanted to bring notice to an awesome cause and annual event.
“Extra Life unites thousands of players around the world in a 24 hour gaming marathon to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Since its inception in 2008, Extra Life has raised more than $14 million for local CMN hospitals.”
Extra-Life is an event that brings together gamers from all over the world to play games in support of the Children’s Miracle Network of Hospitals. In collaboration with the ESA, the event challenges gamers to raise funds through pledges to their gaming marathon. Participants will attempt to game for a full 24 hours, all for the cause of raising funds for a much deserved cause. Interested gamers can create a fundraising goal for themselves or a team at the Extra Life Website. This years event will take place next weekend on November 7th, 2015 (Though they’ll take donations for any day!).
Whether you want to participate yourself, watch some streams of participating gamers, donate to the cause, or simply find out more information, head on over to Extra-Life.org for more details.
Such an awesome event just goes to show the amazing good that the gaming community can do when we come together for a righteous cause.
