Extra Life Charity Event

Hi I'm Gus Mendoza and this year I'm raising money and awareness for my local Children's Miracle Network hospital, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.

On October 16th, 2010 I'll attempt to play video games for 24-hours straight, and I've asked you to come by in hopes that you'll support me by giving just $1.00 per hour ($24 total).

Your donation is tax-deductible and 100% of your gift goes to help heal sick kids, here in Los Angel...es, CA.

This Fall, my fellow Extra Life gamers are going to make miracles happen for kids. I can't do that without your support. My goal is to raise $2000.00.

I will be streaming the whole event via www.justin.tv it is not required to watch the whole time but any donation is appreciated and its for a good cause. I might raise the goal higher if I get enough people.

Not sure exactly what games I will be playing but feel free to join me in playing some as well! It will be mostly be ps3 cause its the easiest to hook up and stream but here are some games I will be playing and I will update the list with more later.

Super Street Fighter IV
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Resident Evil 5 (co-op with @Mark Lucia maybe?)
Blur
Split Second
Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock
Rock Band 2
Uncharted 2

Event Info

This year's event begins at 8:00am in your local time zone on October 16th, 2010. Each of our participants is currently raising money by recruiting at least 4 sponsors to give $1.00 for each hour of the marathon (that's $24.00 per sponsor).

What makes Extra Life so incredibly easy, is that you can do it from the comfort of your own home. While many churches and school do lock-ins for Extra Life, you don't HAVE to go anywhere. What's more, you can play any game or games you want during the event. Xbox 360, PS3, PC, even games on your phone count.

The important thing is to make the commitment to help local children get better. This year, Extra Life benefits Children's Miracle Network hospitals, meaning that 100% of the money you raise will stay right where you live at your local CMN hospital.

Also, I will be giving away a spirit hood to people who donate $24. Every other $10 donated will put your name in there more than once! More chances to win! Please help support my event by letting more people know about it!
