Your Fundraising Quest: A Slightly Over-the-Top Hero’s Journey Analogy to Convince You to Download the Extra Life Fundraising App
Every hero needs a quest. And yes, we know it’s a little dramatic to call fundraising a quest — but stick with us. For Extra Lifers, your “epic mission” is real: kids at your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital need care, comfort, and programs that can make a lasting impact. Every dollar you raise moves the needle — and that’s worth getting a little heroic about.
Of course, every quest has challenges. Life gets busy. Streams need running. Snacks need snacking. Friends and family don’t always answer on the first try. Maybe you’ve hit a fundraising wall before, or maybe you’re staring down Game Day wondering how to rally your community one more time. These are the “dragons” you have to slay — and like every good hero, you need a trusty sidekick.
Enter the DonorDrive mobile app — your somewhat magical, definitely practical ally. Available for iOS and Android, it’s here to make your fundraising a little less… perilous. With the app, you can:
- Share instantly: Generate a QR code or link to your page so donations come in faster than a speedrun.
- Track your progress: Watch totals rise in real time and celebrate each milestone like collecting loot.
- Stay connected: Get updates from Extra Life and CMN Hospitals so you’re never wandering the fundraising dungeon alone.
With this tool, your “quest” becomes a little more manageable. You can fundraise anywhere — during a stream, between matches, or while plotting your next in-game strategy. Step by step, donation by donation, you’re leveling up toward your goal.
Then comes your Game Day/fundraising push day — your “final boss” if you will. Every effort you’ve made, every post shared, every friend rallied, comes together. Donations rise. Milestones hit. And the real reward? Your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital helping the community.
So, ready to take up your slightly silly-but-still-important quest? Download the DonorDrive app and equip yourself for the adventure:
Because even if this analogy is a stretch, the impact isn’t. Every hero needs tools — and every child and family deserves someone like you.
