Please support my #ExtraLife campaign in support of @BCCHF #ForTheKids happening on Sat Nov 2 live on YouTube. Just like last year, each UPVOTE on this post will be matched with a $1 donation*. Visit https://www.extra-life.org/participant/aaronhui for more details and how to #ExtraLifeChallenge me.

*matching donations will be capped.

A full breakdown of the rules and FAQ can be found here.

We will be judging qualified submissions based on the following criteria:

• Contest theme (featured games for Extra Life United and/or Extra Life inspired designs) • Creativity • Originality

When submitting your cosplay, the following information is required in your entry:

• Check to make sure you are in the correct Reddit thread, there is one for novice cosplayers and another for professional, only post in the appropriate thread for your level. • Your preferred name (can be display name) • The name of the CMN Hospital you are supporting. • A link to your 2021 Extra Life Fundraising page • Your amazing cosplay! (The best way to submit media on Reddit is to create an imgur album and link that in your post)

Entries are now open and will remain open until midnight EST April 23. Winners will be announced by 5 PM ET, April 30 via Extra Life’s social platforms.

We've hit our goal with a couple days to spare. Everyone give yourselves a pat on the back! You all kick ass, and the money you have raised here is going to help kids in a measurable way. Thank you all very much!

Game day is quickly nearing, and there is no reason to slow down now. In the past 3 Extra Life marathons I've done, most sponsorship money comes in the day before and the day of the marathon. Give a quick reminder to your friends and family about your upcoming marathon and let them know it is important to you.

Also, have fun everyone!

cheers,

For those of you finding this page for the first time, I thought best to do a nice write up on what Extra Life is and how YOU can help. While this marks my 6th year taking part, 3 of those years I was a Guild Leader for my state.

Extra Life is a fundraising event, the proceeds of which go to branches of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. 100% of all donations go directly to the hospitals. Extra Life was formed in 2008 to honor Victoria Enmon, who died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. You can watch the video on how Extra Life came to be on https://youtu.be/24pO4h4npgE.

Extra Life is gamers doing what they do best to help sick and injured children at their chosen Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Simply sign up, commit to play games on any day of your choosing (or over a few days), and ask your family and friends to support your efforts!

How do you sign up to take part? You can get started by registering right here!  Once you complete registration, you’ll get an online fundraising page that you can customize by choosing which hospital you want to support, setting a fundraising goal and sharing your personal reason for why you’re participating in Extra Life.

Totals over the year below. As you can see, with each passing year we as a whole bypass what we raised the year before when all money raised by everyone that takes part in the year long charity. If you have questions, by all means, reach out to a fellow Extra Lifer, tag Extra Life on social media. Plus I don't doubt u/sodypop would answer questions too as a fellow Extra Lifer.

On top of this, with the news today, you can now gift Gold to people and there is a cool one for the 500 gold tier along with those funds will go to Extra Life! Good luck to all and may you hit your goals and more.

Heya fellow Extra Lifers!

Tomorrow, November 6th, is Reddit’s 10th year participating in Extra Life and we couldn’t be more excited. While we wish we could be doing this in our office with fellow Admins, this year we’ll be participating in Game Day remotely again using RPAN on r/TheGamerLounge.

If you want to join up with Team Reddit and help raise money under our flag, click here.

For more information on our Extra Life efforts this year, check out our official blog post here.

Finally, check out our (ever changing) schedule below! We’ll be streaming all day long. :)

Any users who stream on r/TheGamerLounge for Extra Life tomorrow will also gain an Extra Life 2021 Trophy for their account!

It's not a huge bit of work but, I wanted to show what I've done since starting with Extra Life!

Fellow Extra Life participants!

We’re excited to announce that Reddit will be doing something new this year for our official Extra Life Charity Stream.

This year, we will be live using RPAN (Reddit’s live broadcasting feature) here on r/ExtraLife.

If you want to join forces and raise money under Team Reddit, you can do so here.

For more information you can check our official blog post here.
