Seattle Extra Life Achieves $10 Million Milestone

The Seattle Extra Life community has raised $10 million in support of the life-saving treatments, innovative research, and transformational pediatric care at Seattle Children’s!

Since 2010, nearly 1,000 tabletop and video gamers have participated in Extra Life and raised funds for Seattle Children’s. Whether they’ve raised $10 or $10,000, been participating in Extra Life since the beginning or are brand new, each and every one of our amazing Seattle Extra Lifers have contributed to massive impact at Seattle Children’s.

To help us celebrate this amazing milestone, we want to acknowledge a very special Extra Lifer who raised the 10-millionth dollar for Seattle Children’s-

Huzzah for Sean Dowd, known as in the Extra Life community and online as “Sharkims”. Sean has been participating in Extra Life for 8 years and has raised nearly $70,000 for Seattle Children’s. He has been supported all along the way by an amazing group of family and friends that stream as “Sharkims and Friends“.

Thanks to Sean, and his community of streaming friends for being the ones to carry us over the $10 million threshold during a 24-hour Extra Life fundraiser held August 17-18.

And THANK YOU to all our amazing Seattle Extra Lifers – we truly could not have reached this milestone without each and every one of you and without the support of our amazing partners at Wizards of the Coast.
