Extra Life Marathon 2019

The Extra Life Marathon is coming up, where we game for 24 hours to raise money for Seattle Children’s. Typically, we are able to raise a few thousand dollars as a team – we’ve started with $4500 goal but can always raise it!

Thanks to Phoenix Comics and Games for hosting! Go shop there.

A Few Quick Notes:

1. We game for 12 hours on Saturday and another 12 hours on Sunday, with time to sleep in between. That means 10AM-10PM Sat, 10AM-10PM Sun. (Times are TBD, but these are the times we did last year.)

2. You don’t have to attend the whole time! If you want to drop by for a few hours, that’s cool. You don’t have to join the team to attend (though it’s encouraged). If you are participating as a team member, technically you need to do 24 hours of gaming, but you can always make up any missed hours on your own.

3. Gaming includes anything that could be construed as a game. Past years have included lots of board games and video games (PS4, Switch, etc.).

4. The event is free but donations are encouraged, particularly if you are not participating in the whole 24 hours, to help us meet our goal.

5. You do not have to attend the physical event to join the team! We encourage you too, and probably more fun, but if you live out of the area and want to be part of our team, you can feel free to game on your own or figure something else out. We’ve had team members who did a lot of solo gaming, including live streams, and raised a lot of money.

6. Please feel free to bring food and drink. We may have a banquet permit to allow beer/wine/cider (TBA), but please make sure to bring your ID if you want to partake of any alcohol.

6. We live streamed the event last year and are looking into doing it again.

Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to join the team! (Please note: if you want to join the team, you MUST join via the link above.)

We’ll be providing name tag stickers that indicate gender pronouns. We want this to be a comfortable environment for everyone, so please respect people’s listed or stated gender pronouns.
