Extra Life Partcipants
Meet the Community Making Big Change For All Kids.
Streamers pulling all-nighters on Twitch. Coworkers turning a Tuesday into a fundraiser. D&D tables passing the hat between campaigns. Tournament organizers, cosplayers, esports orgs, and solo players just asking their family for a few dollars. Every one of them is an Extra Life participant, and every one of them is playing for a kids and families at their local children’s hospital.
One Community,
Playing A Hundred
Different Ways
Extra Life brings together gamers, content creators, tabletop players, streamers, industry partners, community groups, and 170 children’s hospitals, all working toward the same goal. Nobody’s fundraiser looks quite the same. Some people livestream for hours straight. Some rally their whole workplace. Some just get their usual game night crew to chip in. What connects all of them is simple: they picked a hospital that matters to them, and they turned playing games into real support for kids close to home.
How You Play, It Counts
Extra Life was built for every kind of person. Here’s just a few ways people show up for kids, families, and hospitals in their chosen community.
