Extra Life
Community Action Award
Class of 2017 Inductee
Extra Life is a fundraising event.
The proceeds of which go to branches of the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
100% of all donations go directly to the hospitals.
Extra Life was formed in 2008 to honor Victoria Enmon, who died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It was aided by the Sarcastic Gamer community, who sent gifts and video games to her.
The main premise of the event is that a group or teams get together and play different types of games for a 24 hour marathon.
Many of these users will live-stream their game-play and activities on the platform Twitch. During this process, players will ask for donations that will then be sent to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Since its inception in 2008, Extra Life has raised over $132 million USD to Change Kids’ Health to Change the Future.
