PlayStation Nation. Are you ready for Extra Life? The friendly folks from the PlayStation.Blog team certainly are, as they’re hosting a pre-Extra Life event kicking off Friday, October 24th at 10:00 AM Pacific. Games like Spelunky (With Derek Yu!), Alien: Isolation, and maybe a few extra surprises will be appearing on the livestream. So make sure you share the news when you’re watching to help raise awareness for Extra Life.

PlayStation.Blog team will be playing games to raise money for Children’s Hospital of Oakland, so we hope you’ll join in helping the cause.

This weekend I want you to stand with us, having raised all that you can for sick and injured kids in your community. It isn’t difficult. It’s actually quite fun!

With Extra Life you simply sign up, choose a hospital to support, and share your goal of raising money for local kids with your friends and family. Invite them to donate to your campaign. Then, on Saturday, you join a 24-hour celebration of gamers from around the world, playing for kids.

This is that easy.

Last year, Extra Lifers raised over $4 million for sick and injured kids. With the support of the mighty PlayStation community, we can do even more.

So come on back to this blog post on Friday, 10/24 at 10:00 AM Pacific, and join us as we kick off this year’s Extra Life event! We’ll see you there.
