Year Round Fundraising

Extra Life 2022 is here, and we cannot wait to keep the momentum going from a record-breaking 2021. The incredible efforts of our Extra Life community helped Phoenix Children’s navigate the challenges of today, while preparing for those of the future. Together, we have raised over $100,000 for hope and healing of patients and their families at our hospital. Your continued support allows us to provide the most advanced pediatric health care with a compassionate touch. It’s never too early to commit to Extra Life 2023! Sign up, fundraise, recruit and get started today! 

Extra Life is a gaming marathon that raises funds to support 170-member children’s hospitals across the U.S. and Canada. Since 2008, the event has raised more than $40 million for Children Miracle Network Hospitals. 

People participate in Extra Life for a magnitude of reasons. Watch video testimonials from Extra Life Community members to hear why they are playing their favorite games in support of local sick and injured children.
