What is Game Day?

Game Day is Extra Life's main event. It's the biggest fundraising day of the year. This is the day when all Extra Lifers are called upon to fundraise – to help kids in your community. When your fundraising dollars are combined with the rest of the Extra Life community, we can help 12 million kids every year receive the treatment they need. 

Ways to Get Involved

Live Streamers

If you're a streamer, you can host Extra Life charity streams on Game Day to ask your subscribers, viewers, and community to make donations to your fundraising page. Incentivize donations by offering to perform various challenges when people donate certain amounts and when you reach certain fundraising milestones. 

Game Communities

If you're part of a tabletop, roleplay, or board game community, organize a special fundraising event and invite your gaming club to donate and/or help plan and host the event. For example, you can charge an entry fee, collect sponsors, sell food, and offer re-rolls -- all for donations to your Extra Life campaign.

Living Room Gamers

If you like to play games with a small group of friends or family, schedule a special day that everyone knows will be a special fundraising Game Day. Collab with them to determine how much each person should raise or donate and how you can make your gaming experience special on that day because you're raising money to change kids' lives.

Esports Teams

Organize a tournament where the entry fee is a donation. Collect more donations by selling sponsorships, food, and additional merch. 

Other Types of Gamers

Whether your thing is sports, canasta, or something else - you can fundraise on Game Day, too. Create your fundraising page and ask friends and family for donations to help you impact local kids' lives.
