Extra Life 2013
Sep. 25th, 2013 08:26 amHello all, I don't have a donation link yet, but I wanted to post some info on the Extra Life event now, since I got such a warm response last year.
I'm participating in a fundraiser called Extra Life for the Children's Miracle Network, and specifically my local CMN hospital, Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center. The event includes 24 hours of gaming; any kind - board games, video games, RPG's, etc. I participated last year, and it was super fun (I also had my first real conversation with my now-boyfriend there, so there is that.) I am on a team called the Westchester Geeks, and we gather at Modern Myths in Mamaroneck, NY if anyone wants to stop by the day of. The event will begin Nov 2 at 10:00 am, as I understand it (will confirm that when I post the donation link).
If you have any spare cash, and are willing to donate it towards providing medical care to extremely sick kids, please help. NONE of the donation money goes to supporting the event, only the registration costs. So feel free to give generously, all of what you give goes to the hospital, which will provide care regardless of the family's ability to pay. Suggested sponsorship is $1 per hour for the 24 hour event. If you can only sponsor 5 hours, that's great. If you can sponsor the whole 24, even better.
I won't be able to attend the event this year, as it overlaps with a long-planned trip to Washington, DC. But I encourage everyone who can to give generously, sick kids are no fun. I'll post the donation link as soon as I get it.
