Welcome!

We're on a mission to play games to help change kids' health. Specifically tabletop role-playing games and board games.

The 11th Annual Extra Life 24-hour Dungeons & Dragons Game For Charity

We're back for another year of throwing dice and raising funds for BC Children's Hospital!

Gather close and witness the adventures of a bunch of nerds as they play Dungeons & Dragons for 24 hours. However, they gather to champion a greater goal still: to raise money for the BC Children's Hospital Foundation and the younglings it benefits. Working with the Extra Life charity organization, they shall march forth to victory, dice in hand and friends by their sides.

As always, we will be holding a raffle for goodies provided by Big Pear and other generous local Vancouver businesses. For every $5 CAD you donate to one of our team members, you will receive 1 entry into our raffle to win a prize pack. Check back here for a list of potential prizes.

For people interested in playing
There will be 3 back-to-back 8-hour sessions starting at midnight on October 19th and ending at midnight on October 20th. Sessions will be as follows:
Session 1: 0000-0800
Session 2: 0800-1600
Session 3: 1600-0000
Get in touch with Big Pear via big.pear.gaming@gmail.com with your preferred session(s). If a spots on your preferred session(s) are confirmed to be available, log in or create an Extra Life profile and join our team.
