2022 Extra Life

This year, I am bringing back my favourite movie franchise and doing Star Wars once again. Please check my fundraising page regularly as I will be updating it with more event information. Click on the YouTube video below for a fun introduction.

You can also watch the one I made from my 2014 Star Wars Extra Life event. https://youtu.be/j4l4YWXTB_k

"Help me 'Oh-Be-Good-And-Donate'. You're my only hope."Generous donors, years ago you supported my campaign in the Extra Life event. Now I beg you to help us in our struggle against childhood diseases. I regret that I am unable to present my fundraising request to you in person, but my progress has fallen behind expectations, and I'm afraid my mission to bring more donations to all the kids have failed. I have placed information vital to my fundraising efforts into this website. Even your father would know how to donate. You must see this website and make a donation in support of BC Children's. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, generous donors. You're my only hope.

Who am I

Welcome to my Extra Life fundraising page. This will be my 10th time doing the Extra Life event. I have raised $53,193.51 for BC Children's Hospital since I started doing Extra Life back in 2013. I love Star Wars and played a lot of video games when I was young. I am also a computer enthusiast. I work for BC Children's Hospital Foundation where I learned about this event.
I had lots of computer troubles recently and it's been six years since I've upgraded my computer, so I decided to buy a new computer. I will be playing Star Wars computer games like I did back in 2014 except with newer games such as Jedi: Fallen Order and Squadrons.

My marathon will begin streaming from here and my YouTube channel. The plan is to start Saturday, November 5, 2022 8:00am.

Once again, all donations of any amount on this website will be matched by at least $10. My #ExtraLifeChallenge donation bonuses will be making a return, as well additional bonus donations.

Challenges

Based on the amount you donate, you can challenge me to complete activities listed below. These challenges will result in more matching donations! You may allocate your donation to multiple challenges. For example, if you donate $100 CAD, you may request for me to add 6 dice to the tower, ask me a Star Wars trivia question ($10), then the remaining to have me do Let it Roll challenge 4 times. The best way to send me the challenge is through the YouTube live chat during the event. However, when you make the donation, you can choose the option to send me a message where you can specify your challenges. You can also contact me via Skype (username: SurfWarrior), email or Google Chat (aaronhui77 'at' gmail.com). BCCHF staff can contact me on MS Teams.

All prices below are in 🍁Canadian CAD🍁

  • $10 – Dice Tower Challenge. I'll have a webcam set up on a tower of dice. For every $10 you can challenge me to add a dice to the tower. When the tower collapses, a matching $50 donation will be made for each time the tower collapses plus the resulting values on the collapsed dice will be added up as additional bonus donation dollars. The Extra Life logo on the 6-sided dice will be valued at $10 instead of $6. (See also: Challenge Bonuses). For $50, I will do a bonus dice and add six dice to the tower. The first dice on the tower will be a 20-sided die!

  • $10 – Star Wars Trivia Challenge. Ask me a Star Wars trivia question. The question must be answerable based off Star Wars canon movie content and is easily verifiable (by a Google Search or quickly reviewing the movie), excluding credit information (So no "Who is the actor that played Gold 5?" type questions, please). (See also: Challenge Bonuses). If you don't have a specific questions, I can roll for a random Star Wars trivia challenge.
  • $10 – 🎲Let it Roll🎲 Challenge. (A good option if you don't have a preference). I'll roll two six-sided dice and do one of the following:
    • 2 - 10 more minutes⌚ - I will add an additional 10 minutes to my marathon
    • 3 - Add 5 dice to tower - I will add 5 more dice to the tower🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲
    • 4 - Push-ups - I will do as many push-ups💪 as I can. $1 matched for each push-up.
    • 5 - BB-8 Sphero Course - I will race my Sphero around a course🏁 laid out on my desk. If I fail to complete the course, I will match $20. This course goes around my dice tower.
    • 6 - One-handed Lefty mode - I will play the game using just my left hand👍 for 2 minutes. If I get killed in the game, I will match $20.

    • 12 - Change my T-Shirt - I'll change my shirt👕 to another Extra Life or Star Wars T-Shirt
    • In addition to doing the above, when I roll the dice, if any 6 on either die shows, that would be considered a critical hit and $10 will be matched AND I re-roll the dice. Also, if a matching pair occurs, e.g. 3 and 3 = 6, I'll do the above action AND two dice will be added to the Dice Tower.
    • If any of challenges from 4 to 12 do no occur, then I will do that one time during the marathon near the end of the event.
  • $20 – Try Not To Laugh Challenge. 🤣 You have two options for this challenge. You can send me a link to an online video. I'll watch the video up to 1 minute, and try not to laugh or smile. Or, you can Skype in live and try for 60 seconds to make me laugh or smile. (See also: Challenge Bonuses)
  • $50 – Head-to-Head Challenge. 🎮 Challenge me to one of the head-to-head multiplayer video games. More details here. (See also: Challenge Bonuses)
  • $50 – 💣Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes💥 Challenge. Join in live on video and/or audio using Skype, MS Teams, Zoom and help me defuse a bomb. (See also: Special Challenge Event)

Please send me suggestions. I will continue to add and adjust this list. I can only complete these challenges prior to the end of the event, so please let me know what challenges you would like me to do as soon as possible.

Special Challenge Events

💣Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes💥 Challenge. Donate $50 and you can choose this challenge. Viewers from the YouTube live stream can help me defuse the in-game "bomb." Anyone can also help by typing into the Live Chat or by Skyping or calling in. The bomb defusal manual is available at http://www.bombmanual.com.

The game parameters will be 8 minutes to defuse a bomb with 5 random modules. Needy modules and hardcore mode are off. If we are unsuccessful in defusing a bomb, $10 will be added to bonus donations for each module within the bomb that is successfully deactivated. So, if we happen to complete 4 of the 5 modules, $40 will be added.

Milestone Challenge Goals

If I reach certain milestones (detailed at the top of the page) prior to the end of my marathon, I will do those challenges. These challenges are counted in USD on the website and does not include the matching donations made by Patsy.

The BCCHF Extra Life team is trying to work with Linus Tech Tips to get my exclusive Extra Life Gaming Chair autographed by the LTT team for an auction to raise hopefully big funds! I'll donate my chair valued at $5000 to them if I raise $3000. I'm pretty sure my autograph will lower the value of this chair. 🙄

 

Game Schedule

This Saturday, November 5, 2022 from 8am to Sunday 7am. Daylight saving time ends this weekend.

If I reach the milestone of $7000 before the event ends, I will play an extra hour. One of the dice roll challenges will also add time to my event.

I'll be doing challenges on demand and will take breaks during the marathon when convenient.

FAQ

  • I'm having problems/errors when donating. It's not working!
    • For some people, errors may occur and sometimes it only works when donating under USD. This is usually when a donor is making a donation using an AMEX credit card. For many donors American Express won't work. You can try a different card or contact me and I'll process the credit card directly with BCCHF.
    • Another issues is that your web browser may be the problem. Try clearing the cache. If that doesn't work, you can also try clearing the data. It might be simpler to try using a different web browser or try using a different device.
    • Tip: When filling out your billing address, make sure you change your country first if you do not reside in USA.
  • How do I donate in Canadian Funds?
    • If you use PayPal, the amount can only be charged in USD. To be charged in CAD, you must select the credit card option and then you can choose the CAD option.
    • When you choose CAD option, your credit card will be processed in CAD so you should not incur any foreign exchange fees when using a Canadian credit card.
    • You'll see an option to cover processing costs. I recommend to keep this option unchecked. BC Children's Hospital will still get 100% of your donation whether or not you choose this option. The value on the website will only show the lower amount however.
    • If you choose the option to "cover processing costs," it increases your donation value by 7%. You will receive a tax receipt for the full amount you were charged, and BC Children's Hospital Foundation will receive the full amount that you have donated.
    • The website fundraising total will count your donation in USD, so even though you made a $100 CAD donation, it would show up as a number around $75, although your credit card would be charged $100.00. Your tax receipt will be in the full CAD amount.
  • When do I get my tax receipt?
    • Although you get an email confirmation and a valid US tax receipt immediately after making your donation, Canadian donors will receive a separate tax receipt which will be emailed out later in February 2023 for your donation.
    • There is an option to choose anonymous. However, if you do, I won't know who has donated. Please email me and let me know you made the anonymous donation which would be helpful to me so I can properly credit you with the donation. If you truly want to remain anonymous, by all means, you can choose this option.
    • Regardless of choosing anonymous, the tax receipts are issued in the name specified for the cardholder for credit card donations or under the PayPal account name if donated via PayPal. 
  • Can I combine my donation with a friend of mine to challenge you?
    • No. You cannot combine your donation with another donor for the purposes of challenges.
  • How much should I donate?
    • The more the merrier! Even if you donate only $1, an additional $10 will be made by Patsy Hui which would be a total of $11 going to help sick children. The bonus $10 donation does not count towards the challenge donation.
  • Can I Skype/Zoom you during your Live Stream?
    • For a minimum donation of $20, you may join in on a video conference using Skype, MS Teams or Zoom. Please make arrangements with me and send me a message through the YouTube chat first. Your webcam will be displayed on the Live stream. Please be courteous and keep it clean.
  • What happens when the dice tower falls?
    • I'll keep track each time it falls for any reason (such as the Sphero crashing into the tower or me accidentally bumping the table too hard, at the end of the event, $50 will be donated by Patsy for each time it collapses. If you challenged me to stack multiple dice, and it has collapsed before I move them all, then a new tower will start so any remaining turns will be used.
  • I've already donated and I haven't sent you my challenge. Is it too late to do so?
    • Not at all! You can contact me in the Live Stream during the event, or email me beforehand. If you want to witness it, it is best to message me through the live chat on YouTube. However, the broadcast will be archive if you want to view it later.
  • Is your total raised on this webpage measured in CAD or USD?
    • The website total shows in USD value, if I get a $100 CAD donation it will add about $75 to my fundraising page here. I will convert the USD back to CAD when calculating for the challenge bonuses. So, if I see $36.63 USD donation, I'll assume you made a $50 CAD donation and you can request a $50 challenge for me.
