- (1888PressRelease) August 07, 2012 - Arlington Heights, IL - On October 15, 2011, James Dolbeare participated in an annual charity event called Extra Life. Extra Life is a 24 hour video game marathon. The money raised from the marathon goes to children at the Chicago area Children's Miracle Network Hospital.
This is James' third year in participating in this event, and out of his participation in the event this year, James raised and collected $157 towards his goal of $100 (as of the time of this writing). He is also on the team the Wildcats, and so far, the Wildcats have raised and collected $282 towards their goal of $500. So far, all the participants together have collected $1,108,224.
Founded by people behind the Sarcastic Gamer website, the Extra Life charity drive encourages teams of gamers, or sole participants, to play games for a 24-hour stretch in order to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network.
The 2008 and 2009 events raised a total of $302,000, all of which went directly to the charity. The best part: anyone can join in and raise funds simply by registering, creating a personal fundraising page and then hitting up friends and relatives as sponsors.
Entrants in this year's challenge can also choose to contribute proceeds to the Children's Miracle Network Hospital of their choice.
