The day of games is nigh - ExtraLife marathon

Note: For further information regarding the marathon, please see the original announcement post and the associated /r/blog thread.

Only three weeks till game day! On November 2nd, over 550 of us will be participating in a 25-hour gaming marathon to raise money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Last year members of team reddit raised over $78k for their local hospitals. We've already raised over $17k this year. Come join the team and help us hit our goal of $100,000.

Fellow team members, please be sure to stop by /r/ExtraLife to organize and chat.


T-Shirt!

The folks at redditgifts have put together an awesome ExtraLife t-shirt (design pictured) for team reddit. $5 from every team reddit t-shirt purchase will be donated to ExtraLife. The shirt will be on sale starting today until November 4th. Shipping starts November 18th.

Prizes!

As a thank you for participating, any ExtraLife team reddit member raising over $100 will receive two free months of reddit gold. Additionally, any member raising over $300 will get a free ExtraLife team reddit t-shirt. Redemption codes for the shirt and gold will be sent out on November 14th.

How To Donate

To donate simply choose a player from the team roster and click "Support Me!". Each member gets to choose which hospital to raise money for, so if you are interested in a particular hospital, you can probably find someone who has selected it. Donations are tax deductible and all proceeds go directly towards the treatment of kids at the hospitals.
