Extra Life Marathon 2024

Join our team HERE

The Extra Life Marathon is coming up, where we game for 24 hours to raise money for Seattle Children’s Hospital. We’ve started with a $3000 goal but can always raise it!

Please note this event replaces our typical monthly board game day at Phoenix in November.

Currently, Phoenix is no longer requiring masks or vaccination in the store (though masks are still encouraged if you want to wear them, and we’d prefer our participants be vaccinated). The store allows food and (non-alcoholic) drinks again. If you require accommodation for health reasons, please let us know ahead of time, and we can try to work something out.

We do this event from 10 AM-10 PM on Saturday and Sunday – we do not do 24 hours all at once. This is very flexible – while we encourage people to attend the whole time who want to, it is on the honor system for team members to fit in their 24 hours and can certainly attend when you are able.

If you are not a team member raising money, you are still welcome to join at any time to play games, but we would request you donate to Extra Life (however small the amount) if you are able. Of course, if you want to participate virtually, you are welcome to join our team and do the gaming on your own. There are no regional limitations for participating virtually, and virtual participants can fit in their gaming anytime convenient for them in the calendar year. But of course, we encourage folks to join us in person!

Let us 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 (and highly recommend wearing) nametag 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.

Please note there will also be a signing in the store with queer comics writer Sina Grace from 1-4 PM on Saturday (feel free to bring or buy books to sign for them, though it’s not part of this event).

Make sure you note our Queer Geek Event Code of Conduct
