Extra Life Fundraiser Call for Sponsors

Below is the 2023 Call for Sponsors graphic and the email I have been sending to publishers and industry companies about sponsoring the event.  

Hello,

I'm off to a late start looking for support in 2023 due to some changes in my personal life (new day-job, new schools for the kids), but Extra Life is a cause that's important to me and I want to get rolling on this year's events.  I know your time is valuable, so I'll make this brief and I hope this event makes it onto the list of charitable causes you can support this year. 

-----
TLDR: Since 2015, over 130 industry sponsors and dozens of local gamers have helped raise over $20,000 for charity!  Please join us again this year as we grow the event even more.  If you're familiar with the event and want to help out this year, skip to the end for my shipping informationAnd head over to https://CharityAuction.bid/2023ExtraLife-GJJGames to follow along as I build out the auction throughout the summer.  Thank you!

Since 2015 the Charity Auction for Extra Life has been raising funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals through the Extra Life program.  The auction has been run by GJJ Games since 2017 and has grown from a small, local event to the world's largest tabletop games auction in support of the global Extra Life fundraising movement.  With the help of industry sponsors, content creators, and local gamers we have raised over $20,000 to help change kids' health and change the future.

I was hoping I could count on your support for the 2023 event.  (If you can, you'll find my shipping information in my signature at the end.)

Why should you support this event?

  • 100% raised from sponsor donations goes to support Children's Miracle Network hospitals (see how here).
  • CMN hospitals treat every patient that comes through their doors, regardless of the family's ability to pay.
  • Children’s hospitals have lost, on average, $67 million each month during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can help ensure all kids have quality healthcare when they need it.
  • The more people involved (as both sponsors and bidders) the more we can help to change kids' health and change the future.
  • This is the largest tabletop games related Charity Auction for Extra Life in the world, raising over $20,000 since 2015!
  • Your brand will be promoted to hundreds and even thousands of tabletop gamers via in-store promotions, social media channels, news outlets, the auction site, and more.

Keep reading to find out how to help this great cause.

It would be wonderful if you would join this great cause and wonderful event. If possible, it would be great if you could help sponsor the 2023 event by donating:

  • Tabletop games (new or used)
  • Promo items or accessories
  • Swag
  • Or anything else

Sharing and promoting the event is also greatly appreciated, even if you can't support with donations.  The more people that know about the event the more we can raise to help sick kids.

In exchange for your support, you will be highlighted in the event pages and included in promotions of the event, both online and in-store.  If you have games available in the stores I have partnered with we will have special tags that identify your games as sponsor games.  This is a great opportunity to both promote your brand and support a great cause! 

This year's Charity Auction will be from November 3 to November 10.  You can learn more about this year's event and past events here: https://charityauction.bid/2023ExtraLife-GJJGames

If you're able to support the event this year I'd greatly appreciate it!  You can send donations to me to be included in the event (my mailing address is in my signature below).  Here's the link to my Extra Life page: http://extra-life.org/participant/GJJGames
