Extra Life: Board Games and RPGs for Charity

By Leave a Comment

Calling Oklahoma gamers! Join us for our 9th annual Extra Life fundraising event. For 24 hours, we play board games, card games, paint miniatures and host tabletop and role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons (with food, raffles and more in the mix) to raise money for Oklahoma kids in need.

Over the past eight years we’ve raised over $45,000 for the Oklahoma City Children’s Health Foundation. This year, we hope to raise an additional $15,000! All funds stay in Oklahoma to serve children in all 77 counties.

Event is family-friendly and free to attend! Some games have entry fees. All proceeds go to the children’s hospital!
