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!

Oklahoma City Gamers Come Together for Extra Life

By Leave a Comment

If you’re a gamer you’ve probably heard the name Extra Life, and I’m not talking about a 1-up in Super Mario. Extra Life is a Children’s Miracle Network charity that makes it easy for gamers of all types to raise money for their local children’s hospitals.

With the motto, “Play Games. Heal Kids.” Extra Life allows gamers to set up their own fundraising page, select their local hospital, set a goal and then take it from there. The challenge is to play games for 24 hours while raising funds through the site.

In 2014, a small group of Oklahoma City Dungeons & Dragons Adventurers League members got together for their own Extra Life fundraiser at Game HQ. Started by Anthony Caroselli, they played D&D and other tabletop games for 24 hours with a meager goal of $200 for the Children’s Hospital Foundation. They ended up raising $643 that weekend and thought, “this could be bigger.”
