The Event
Last month we announced our partnership with Children’s Miracles Network Hospitals to participate in Extra Life, an annual 24-hour gaming fundraising event to raise money for children’s hospitals.
Much like pledging to run a 5k for charity, Extra Life works by pledging to play games for 24 hours straight. 100% of the money you raise goes to help the children's hospital of your choice, to support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care. All to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
November 7th is coming up faster than a League of Rockets, so join Team Reddit and start fundraising!
Achievement unlocked: get your friends to join, too. Success comes in numbers!
The Competition
We’re already over $30,000 closer to our goal of $150,000 this year, *and* we’re only $20,000 away from beating Team Soraka in a sprint competition, where we’re competing for pride, glory, bragging rights, and most importantly, never having to learn how to play LoL.
The Prizes
In addition to Extra Life's own incentives, we're giving out prizes to our top fundraisers!
- Be one of the first 100 participants to raise $100, get 2 months of Reddit Gold!
- Be one of the first 100 participants to raise $200, get our Team Reddit 2015 logo on a sticker!
- Be one of the first 100 participants to raise $300, and you not only get the gold and the sticker, but you get the logo on an AWESOME t-shirt!
The Pre-Party
Reddit is going to hold a pre-event splash party here in San Francisco! We'll be partnering with Humble Bundle and Showdown, along with the San Francisco Extra Life guild, to have awesome streaming, raffle prizes, and raise support and awareness for the charity. See (and subscribe to!) /r/ExtraLife for more information.
