PLAY GAMES TO HELP HEAL LOCAL KIDS
Extra Life unites thousands of gamers in a year-round fundraising initiative that culminates in a 24-hour gaming challenge which can be done from the comfort of your own couch. Gamers — people who play video games, board games, phone games, card games and other forms of competitive play — use their passion to raise money in support of their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Last year, Extra Life raised more than $127,000 for Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.
“This must be the easiest fundraising plan in the world; you don’t even have to get up off the couch if you don’t want to.” Tracy Degrazia, Guild Member, Extra Life Hartford
