To date, we have raised over $4.5 million to support kids and families in need, as well as support the Stollery in building an standalone hospital.
We are a team of over 800 dedicated gamers and fundraisers from across Alberta, committed to helping sick children in our communities.
Extra Life Edmonton has been fundraising for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation since 2011.
Extra Life Edmonton gamers participate in a CMN hospitals fundraising initiative: the annual Extra Life gaming marathon held across North America. We are one of the largest and most active teams worldwide and are committed to playing games to heal kids year-round!
A fundraiser since 2014, I am an avid player of RPGs and supporter of mental health initiatives. A teacher by day and gamer by night, I love supporting kids in need!
I joined the team in 2023 with a passion for helping others and making a difference. The Stollery Children’s Hospital holds a special place in my heart, as it has helped people close to me, and I’m committed to giving back.
Joining the team in 2023, I am in charge of wrangling our NPCs volunteers (Nerdy People who Care!) as well as coordinating our appearences at events throughout the year. If you've been to an ELE booth, you have probably talked to me!
"Extra Life Edmonton are an incredible group of dedicated volunteers that use their love of gaming and passion to help kids to create an inclusive gaming space and raise thousands of dollars in the process. The hours of time and creativity they put into planning and executing an incredible Game Day event as well as our community outreach and events are extraordinary. Working with Extra Life Edmonton has been an immense joy and an honour. Thank you for using your time, gifts and gaming expertise to make a difference in the lives of Stollery kids!"
