Saturday, October 25, 2014 Extra Life.org is sponsoring an event tomorrow that brings gamers closer together with health care providers for the benefit of children in need.
Extra Life.org is raising funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospital - get friends and family to sponsor you for 24 hours of game play. Sponsors donate $1.00 for every hour played.
I checked out the website and was pleased to find that Extra Life donates 100% of funds raised (according to FAQ info, and multiple mentions throughout site), and also appealing is the fact that when you sign up, you get to direct the funds you raise to the location of your choice. This appeals to me since this gives me a way to donate to my local health care community.
I set up a Wook-team account - link below. Registration is painless - you don't need to put in personal info if you choose not to.

Please check out the info. Although this is very last minute for the event tomorrow, we can still raise funds over time. Children's Miracle Network Hospital is a huge resource for kids with acute medical needs but without access to health care. There are a few of us in the guild that work in the medical industry who can attest to the need for children's medical services across the country. Thank you all for taking a moment to read this.
WOOK!!
P.S. I've been trying to donate this afternoon, to get the ball rolling; I'm in a weird web-page circle at the moment, being logged into the account I'm trying to donate to. Q.Q
