PLAY GAMES. Change Kids’ Health.

Since 2008, tens of thousands of gamers have united to playing games, changing kids’ health and changing the future. Their gaming styles are diverse: from video games, to tabletop games, to lawn sports. Extra Life empowers gamers of every kind to use their passion for play to save lives.

What began as a 24-hour gaming marathon, people now uniquely define the Extra Life challenge they want to take on. If you’re not sure where to start, give the gaming marathon a try.
