Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Extra Life Gaming Marathon: Play games to save lives! (Saturday, Nov 4th)
Posted by hannah.cherry
Want to Play in the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Computer Gaming Marathon?

When & Where: Sat. Nov. 4th, 8am – 8pm TCB Building (Sylvania Campus)
Extra Life is an international gaming day that takes place each year in the fall to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network. Last year, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ gamers raised over $1,200 for OSHU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ students will be joining in this year on Saturday, Nov. 4 by playing computer games from 8 am – 8 pm on the Sylvania campus in the TCB Building on the 2 nd Floor. Participants raise money for OSHU Doernbecher’s through pledges. Anyone can sponsor a gamer with a set amount.
Play computer games with STEAM, or try some “old-fashionedâ€� computer classics like Pong & Centipede programmed by Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ CS students. We’ll also have a variety of board games available to play low-tech!
How can you help? If you’re a gamer, come play for part or all of the day! Have some children who would love to play? We’ll have a special place for them as well.
Play for the whole day or part of the day…
