Extra Life 2024

Join us on January 1, 2024

PLAY GAMES. Change Kids' Health.

Since 2008, tens of thousands of gamers have united to play games, change kids' health and change the future. Their gaming styles are diverse: from video games and esports, to tabletop games, to lawn sports. Whether you're a live streamer or you get together IRL, Extra Life empowers gamers and content creators of every kind to use their passion for play to save lives.

What began as a 24-hour gaming marathon, people now uniquely define the Extra Life challenge they want to take on. If you're not sure where to start, give the gaming or streaming marathon a try.

Sign up and then gather the support of your community. You can join us on Saturday, November 2, 2024 to embark on your gaming and/or streaming marathon.

Since 2008, we've raised over $120 million USD for kids treated at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
