Gaming to raise money for Cancer.
“Extra Life is about getting a new group of people involved in helping fight pediatric cancer. There are plenty of “walk-a-thons” and “run-a-thons” and honestly many who consider themselves “gamers” might not participate in that because it doesn’t interest them. Extra Life is about going to a completely different group of people and asking them to help out and do what they enjoy at the same time. This means overall we have increased the number of people helping out. We’ve got “walk-a-thons”, “run-a-thons”, and now “game-a-thons”. I don’t see anything bad here.” - Matt Fulgham (Extra Life participant, 2008)
On Oct. 17th, 2009, I will be gaming for 24 hours straight to raise money for pediatric cancer. I am asking people to sponsor me in this. This is a huge event, and I feel strongly about being able to help make a difference. I know it seems geeky and people are turned off because of the whole game playing, but I am asking people to put aside their feelings on video games to help me raise money for a good cause.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTING IN PLEDGING ANY AMOUNT:
Please follow the steps on the link below. If you would prefer to write a check, please send me an email with Extra Life Donation as the subject or leave a comment here and I will be glad to send you the paper form to do so. All pledges are greatly appreciated and I want to thank you all in advance for your support of this great cause. That’s right, you may be sponsoring me, but you are supporting Pediatric Cancer Research. Again, any amount per hour is appreciated. Pledging $1.00 per hour only adds up to $24.00. My starting goal is $250, but I hope you all will help me surpass that goal!
