The 2020 Charity Auction & Fundraiser Event Details Coming Soon!
We're currently looking for sponsors for our 2020 Charity Auction for Extra Life! With COVID-19 we are not sure if we'll be able to hold our 24 Hour Gaming Marathon, however we'll still be having our Charity Auction! Hopefully the Charity Auction will be big enough this year to make up the difference from not having the live events.
If you're an industry professional (publisher, designer, media, etc.), local business, or would just like to help out by donating games, promo items, accessories, swag, or anything else gaming related, please get in touch with George Jaros!
