24 Hour Live Charity Stream Event for Extra Life
On Sunday May 7th, 2017 at 5pm EST we are running a 24 Hour Live Charity Stream Event. 100% of the donated proceeds go to Extra Life in support of The Hospital for Sick Children located in Toronto, Canada
WHAT IS EXTRA LIFE AND WHY SICK KIDS HOSPITAL?
Extra Life is a registered charity and was founded in 2008 by gamers. Since it’s inception, Extra Life has raised more than $30million dollars for local Children’s Network Hospitals. Board gamers, video gamers, mobile platform gamers, they all raise funds just by playing any game or games for 24 hours. The hospital we have chosen to support and raise funds for is The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Why? Well, our fleet admiral was a patient of Sick Kids from the ages of 4-12 after being diagnosed with Legg Perthes disease. This disease limits the amount of blood flowing to the femur bone head, eventually deteriorating it. This lead to his double hip replacement at the age of 29. We also have members who’s children have been patients as well. It’s time to give something back and we are asking for your support.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
1) Donation: The bare bones of any fundraiser. Our donation page is listed below. Donations can be made via Paypal or Credit Card and are 100% safe and secure and you will receive a tax receipt from Extra Life. Yes, it’s a registered charity so it’s tax deductible. **All donations immediately go to Extra Life and Sick Kids, our members see absolutely nothing of it and the only thing we gain is supporting Sick Kids Hospital.** You can choose a pre-selected amount or set your own. No amount is too little. Just choose any team member from the Roster tab to make a donation.
2) You can watch our live stream event on May 7th. And no, you don’t have to watch for the entire 24 hours. The link to our live stream is https://www.twitch.tv/weekendwarriorsfleet
