Extra Life 2011

It's that time of year again to register for Extra Life. What's Extra Life? Well, Extra Life is an opportunity to raise money for children's hospitals by playing video games.

That's right, it's time to play video games to help sick kids get better. But how is that possible, you ask? It's similar to a Relay for Life or any other marathon that raises money for charity. Only a little bit better because the marathon involves playing video games for 24 hours straight instead of running. Sign up here and start collecting donations from friends, family, and complete strangers on the street. Then at 8 a.m. on October 15th it's time to play games for 24 hours (if that date doesn't work for you, you can always do it on a day that does).

Extra Life is a wonderful program put together by the guys over at Sarcasatic Gamer and 100% of the proceeds are donated to the Children's Miracle Network. In fact, the money you raise goes to the CMN Hospital of your choice. Click here learn more about Extra Life. And if you're feeling super awesome, donate to me or join the GN team and help us reach our goal.
