Extra Life: Play Games, Heal Kids!

Extra Life

Since 2008, gamers nationwide have come together to play games and raise vital funds year-round to help sick and injured children in need through the Extra Life gaming marathon, hosted by Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

In 2018, 734 gamers signed up to play on behalf of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, raising $163,439! The money raised by Extra Life will support the most urgent needs of UPMC Children's Hospital - the needs that insurance does not cover, the compassionate care for the entire family, and all the other support services that make UPMC Children's so special.

Thank you to all of the Extra Lifers who participated and to our local event sponsor, Schell Games, for their continued support! Your generosity is helping to provide the highest quality care to children and families within our community and beyond, when they need it most!

The 2019 Extra Life marathon event took place on Saturday, November 2, with 560 gamers already raising over $78,000 for UPMC Children’s. Fundraising pages stay open until Dec. 31, so it is not too late to participate or donate!
