Extra Lifers Raise Millions During Annual Game Day

Another Game Day weekend has come and gone — and it was historic! Extra Lifers were able to raise over $13,000,000 USD YTD. Take a look at what the Extra Life community, partners and influencers were up to over the weekend:

If we recapped all the generosity, gameplay, pies in the face, beard shavings and BeanBoozleds consumed into one recap video, it’d be years long! In fact, an astounding 47,870 hours of #ExtraLife tagged Twitch streams were broadcast alone over the weekend!

We saw so many Extra Lifers crush their fundraising goals (some upped their goals multiple times)! One way we noticed Extra Lifers having success was by creating their own milestones and incentives. We took a look at the data and found that over the weekend there were:

• 643 donations made towards incentives with the word “eat”
• 484 donations were made towards an incentive with the word “bean”
• 378 donations made towards incentives with the word “art”
• 256 donations made towards incentives with the word “sing”
• 249 donations made towards incentives with the word “thank you” (thank you postcards, handwritten notes, etc)
• 41 donations made towards incentives with the word “spicy”
• And 18 donations made towards incentives with the word “wax”

Thanks to all who helped #ChangeKidsHealth! If you didn’t have a chance to participate in Game Day this year, no worries! You have until December 31, 2020, at midnight PT to fundraise and support your local children’s hospital.
