Update: Thanks to your overwhelming support, this weekend, we were able to raise over $50,000 (and still climbing) for Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare in Saint Paul, Minnesota. If you watched the stream, donated, or otherwise participated, THANK YOU! And we also want to say an extra special “Thank you” to community members like Bob Buel, Plaid Yeti, and Zachary Pligge who helped raise additional support.
In case you missed it, this year’s show was a total blast! We auctioned off some incredible game memorabilia, such as a Mega Man X Legacy Cartridge from iam8bit, a MinnMax-themed Gameboy Advance, and the first-ever copy of Game Informer Gold, which auctioned for $2000! Mark your calendars for Extra Life 2022 right now!
