Multiple streamers have launched 24-hour Extra Life marathons raising money for children’s hospitals, including BC Children’s Hospital. FrameProblem is running a 24 Hour Black Company tabletop RPG stream to introduce Arc Dream Publishing’s The Black Company and is collecting donations through an Extra Life page that direct funds to BC Children’s Hospital. Furs For Life’s Extra Life effort raised 2,500 dollars and unlocked a Habanero Rush incentive where players race in Mario Kart after eating a spicy pepper. Giant Bomb continues its long-running annual Extra Life stream, now in its 16th year, while Stephen George marks his 15th year of participation and has publicly tracked a lifetime fundraising goal of 1 million dollars. Other participants and teams mentioned include Voxus’ 24-hour block, Cascadian Gamers, and longtime fundraisers who have raised amounts such as more than 10,000 dollars over seven years for Yakima Memorial. Donations made through Extra Life pages fund hospital care, programs, and resources for families and patients, and the marathons are ongoing for Extra Life Game Day.
