Game day is coming up faster than death stare Luigi! On October 25th, over 350 redditors will be gaming non-stop to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. We’ve already raised over $27k towards our $100,000 goal (that’s better than last year at this time!) but we’ve still got a way to go. Join us, play games, and heal kids.

If you’ve already joined, drop by /r/ExtraLife to talk fundraising, streaming, gaming, and strategies for staying awake (cheat code unlocked: caffeine).

Prizes for players!

If saving lives isn’t enough incentive, we’ve got prizes for fundraisers. If you raise over $100, we’ll give you 2 months of reddit gold free!

Gold isn’t enough for you? How about some cool stickers?! Raise over $200 and you’ll get limited edition, one of a kind, Extra-Life-Team-reddit-2014 stickers!

But wait, there’s more – raise over $300 and we’ll send you this AWESOME T-shirt. This shirt isn’t for sale – the only way to get it is through fundraising, and only available to the top 100 fundraisers on team reddit raising over $300.

Not playing? Donate!

To donate simply choose a player from the team roster and click “Support Me!”. Each member gets to choose which hospital to raise money for, so if you are interested in a particular hospital, you can probably find someone who has selected it. Donations are tax deductible and all proceeds go directly towards the treatment of kids at the hospitals. Time’s Running Out, so donate soon!
