Since 2008, gamers nationwide have come together through Extra Life, a program of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, to play games and raise money for sick and injured children in need.

Every year, hundreds of gamers raise money for the most urgent needs at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh– supporting programs that insurance does not cover, compassionate care services for the entire family and many other child-focused resources that make UPMC Children’s so special. In 2023 alone, 217 gamers signed up to play on behalf of UPMC Children’s and raised $109,912.50!

Joining your fellow gamers to change the lives of children and families is simple.

Level 1: SIGN UP & CHOOSE YOUR DATE

Level 2: FUNDRAISE & RECRUIT
