Extra Life - Gaming for 24 hrs to support CMN!

Starbuck · Post Post #0 (ISO) » Thu Aug 18, 2011 4:26 pm

I am the Team Leader for Delta Special Ops' participation in Extra Life 2011. DSO is a gaming clan that I have been a member of for just over 3 years now. We believe in fair and honorable gaming.

Extra Life is an annual 24-hour video game marathon that raises money to help kids at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This year’s event begins at 8 a.m. on Oct. 15, 2011. Each participant is asked to raise money by recruiting at least four sponsors to give $1 for each hour of the marathon (that’s just $24 per sponsor). I would like to push the envelope and raise as much as possible. I would like to blow the goals out of the water, but I need your help to do it!

I would love for you to sponsor me by pledging for my hours of gameplay. If you would like to do so, please go to this link http://www.extra-life.org/participant/AmandaMarron. I am playing in support of Shands Hospital for Children at the University of Florida.

If you would like to join our team, please feel free to do so! The more the merrier.

Children are our future. Let's help them get there.

I've joined up for it as well, planning on playing LoL for the 24 hours. I'm also playing for Shands at UF since that's the closest one to where I am.

I'll donate to you sometime after I get paid, Starbuck.

Shands is the closest for me too.

Sweet, I'll do the same for you. =)

I would love to do this. You don't have to stream for it right? I'll try to donate to you two once I get paid in two weeks.

JD -- any chance of me joining up for LoL? I'm down for 24 hours of gaming to support charity.

You both are more than welcome to join my clan's team for this if you so choose.

Possibly... I'm also wondering if we can get a MS.net team going.

I would if I had an actual modem instead of this broadband crap. Sorry, Starbuck.

On the donation page, is that for final amount or per hour?

scotmany12 · Post Post #14 (ISO) » Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:14 am

My link is now good to donate at. I was able to get the hospital I wanted.

I'm in this. You know, social networking games are acceptable, think we could do Marathons for the 24 hours?

xRECKONERx · Post Post #16 (ISO) » Wed Oct 12, 2011 8:25 am

It's this weekend!

I'm doing it for sure. Probably going to play LoL/Deus Ex/TF2 the whole time.

If I wasn't going to be busy all day saturday, I would totally participate in this. And if HR hadn't somehow lost my bonus check, I'd donate. >.<

Nicodemus · Post Post #18 (ISO) » Wed Oct 12, 2011 11:03 am

I might actually do this - I'll have to make sure it would work for my schedule.

If I do end up doing it I'll probably be playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

You know, just playing video games for a day doesn't actually help anyone. You guys kind of have to get people to donate to your cause and what not....

xRECKONERx · Post Post #20 (ISO) » Wed Oct 12, 2011 11:55 am

No shit, sherlock.

VP Baltar · Post Post #21 (ISO) » Wed Oct 12, 2011 11:56 am

Just saying, I clicked through pretty much everyone's profile. Only starbuck seems to be doing much. CHOP CHOP

xRECKONERx · Post Post #22 (ISO) » Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:03 pm

I've already got $50 in checks, and I have three more people donating $25 each before this weekend. HUZZAH

i couldn't get any donations, rather sadly, due to everyone around here with money being a bunch of annoying uptight fuckwads

just still doing this out of solidarity right now

Umbrage · Post Post #24 (ISO) » Wed Oct 12, 2011 3:25 pm

I raised $150+ and my friend I got into this managed $60+.
