Go team(s) go!

sohmageek thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Aug 21st 2015 at 6:16pm ET

So I know there is a gwishes team here. But I'm wondering if anyone is interested in a meh team for extra life. The date is November 7th. It's a 24 hour gaming marathon. It goes to your local children's miracle network. I'm doing it this year and I'm just over 50% of my mediocre goal. Anyone down? We don't have to play together. But it may be fun to play some games together....

@sohmageek, it might be a good idea to put a link because others, like me, may not know what Extra Life is. Hope this is correct.

- @KDemo thanks. I didn't want to post a link directly to me. As I don't want this to be DONATE TO ME thread. It's about if people want to join in. I'm all set for this. Unfortunately there is a gaming con the weeken that this is going on where my lgs (local game store) practically closes as everyone from the store is there. :( The unfortunate part is that I don't play most of the games at the con. It's about a 2 hour trek give or take 30 min. And not worth the entry fees (1 for the con then 1 to play. It's cheaper to just do one of the other magic events during the week.

I have no idea what this is, or how it works, but if it's about helping kids, it sounds like a good idea. Need a lot more info though.

From the About Extra Life page @KDemo linked:

I quickly realized that Children's Miracle Network Hospitals would be the perfect solution to expand Extra Life into more communities.

This year, when you sign up to play games for 24 hours this year, you won’t just be raising money for kids. You’ll be supporting LOCAL kids and their families. Kids right in your own backyard.

All the money you raise for Extra Life 2015 will go directly to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital of your choice.

Do you want to have more fun than you can handle while helping some of the bravest (and smallest) warriors in your community? All you have to do is:
```
Register and create your personal fundraising page.
Try to get four friends or family members to sponsor you at $1 per hour ($24 each).
Sit on your rear end and play all types of games for 24 hours.  We will be putting in our game play on Saturday, November 7th, beginning at 8 a.m.
```
