"Extra Life," Gaming with a Purpose

Gamers from across the globe will have a chance to make a difference this weekend.

This Saturday will mark the first-ever "Extra Life" 24-hour gaming marathon.

This event - in conjunction with sarcasticgamer.com - is a fundraiser benefiting the Texas Children's Hospital, a leader in pediatric cancer research and treatment.

The official website can be found at http://extralife.sarcasticgamer.com/. All you have to do is set-up a gamer account and find sponsors to donate to your cause and game on!

Two events will be held to support the event in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, including a LAN party for $6 per hour at Game Go Computers. All proceeds support the Texas Children's Hospital.

You can also checkout the 24-hour live webcast of the events in Mount Pleasant at www.w00tstudions.net/radio.html.

This is a call to action for gamers in support of a great cause and what we do best - gaming.
