Extra life has touched many lives over the last decade, supporting many children’s hospitals. Extra Life is a charity organization in which its main purpose and function is to help connect a community united through gaming to help raise funds for many children’s hospitals through the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

The fundraiser occurs through different events, and in Durham College’s case they have decided to run a 24-hour LAN gaming event on August 31st and September 1st from 7pm-7pm. During this live in-person event, attendees will be able to participate in a variety of activities. These activities will range from side events and console play, to gaming conferences and game streaming. Attendees will have the opportunity to stream their gameplay and create donation goals for the cause. Lastly, Attendees can apply to join our Durham Extra Life Team at https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&teamID=45226.
