Support Extra Life through Magic: The Gathering
We are absolutely thrilled about our partnership with Wizards of the Coast in our quest to make miracles happen for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals! It’s been an incredible journey since our partnership was formed in 2013, and now, a decade later, thanks to your unwavering support, the Wizards community has poured over $4 Million into the mission of providing healthcare services, groundbreaking research, cutting-edge pediatric medical equipment, and life-saving treatments.
We want everyone in the Magic: The Gathering community to join the Wizards of the Coast Extra Life Super Team. Choose which Children’s Miracle Network Hospital you want to fundraise for, set a goal, and play games to change kids’ lives in your community. Everything you raise stays local, supporting your chosen member hospital.
