Extra Life: Play Games Heal Kids

July 21st, 2010

I would like to take this time to let everyone know about a group of gamers that are helping heal children around the U.S. That would be you! The people over at Sarcastic Gamer have an event every year to play games for 24 hours earn donation money for every hour that you play. It’s called Extra Life! And YOU can be a hero too! All you have to do is sign up here at Extra Life At Sarcastic Gamer and get people to donate. The ideal donation is $192 per gamer and you get to pick the hospital that it goes to. It’s that simple!

I have done this event two years in a row, and I have no problem doing it again this year. Please take a moment to visit the Extra Life website and either participate or donate. The kids need all the help they can get! So come on and be a gamer, and be a hero!
