Playfly College Esports' mission with Extra Life is to make an impact on the lives of million of children across the U.S. and Canada who benefit from the amazing care given to them thanks to their local member hospital of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Extra Life's partnership with Playfly has presented an amazing opportunity to combine the shared efforts of both organizations to make a substantial difference to those who need it most.
Thanks for being here!
Extra Life is a Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ fundraising program that rallies gaming communities from around the globe to support local children’s hospitals. Their Game Day in November unites thousands of gamers around the world to marathon their favorite games in support of their CMN Hospital of choice, and just like traditional marathons, gamers and streamers are sponsored by their friends and family to raise money for their campaigns. For us, that’s where Playfly College Esports communities come in.
Our Focus
In partnership with Extra Life and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®, Playfly College Esports has devoted the focus of our ongoing partnership towards utilizing the power of esports for the betterment of children in need. These efforts will rely greatly on our collegiate community and gamers everywhere to help fundraise on behalf of those in need of treatment and care across the U.S. and Canada.
Our Impact
It all started with a little girl in Orange, Texas.
Extra Life is a fundraising program of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®. The Extra Life community fundraises year-round to Change Kids' Health to Change the Future. Donations go to member children's hospitals to fund critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services, along with innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, and child life services. Since its inception in 2008, Extra Life has raised over $120 million USD to Change Kids' Health to Change the Future.
When you support our Extra Life broadcast, you’re supporting suffering children, from broken bones, to cancer, to depression. You’re helping keep families together – from an overnight stay to a few months of boarding. You’re helping doctors and nurses heal patients with state-of-the-art technology and medical treatments. You’re bringing joy to their hearts; from toys and video games, to fully equipped music therapy rooms.
