What is Extra Life?

In 2008 and 2009 Extra Life raised a combined $302,000 dollars, 100% of which went directly to help kids at The Texas Children's Hospital. While thousands of gamers, over 100 websites, and over 12,000 donors were more than happy to support Extra Life, many expressed their desire to raise money to help kids closer to home.

This year, when you sign up to play video games for 24 hours on October 15th, 2011, you won't just be raising money for kids. You'll be supporting LOCAL kids and their families. Kids right in your own back yard.

100% of the money you raise in Extra Life 2011 will go directly to the Children's Miracle Network Hospital closest to you if choose to participate, create your own team or join Team Meerkat.
