TO THE EDITOR:
On Oct. 15th, my friends and I will participate in the biggest gaming charity event of the year — Extra Life.
We are pledging to play video games for 24 hours in an effort to raise money for Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center. In 2008 and 2009, Extra Life raised a combined $302,000 — 100 percent of which went directly to help kids in the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital systems.
This year my team is hoping to raise $1,000. Through the generous donations of friends and family we are over 50 percent of the way to our goal.
If you would like to donate to this wonderful cause, simply navigate to extra-life.org/team/UNC, select any member of our team, and choose to “Support Me!”
For only $1 an hour, you can sponsor one of us for the entire event. Your donation is tax-deductible and every penny goes directly to helping the children of these fine hospitals.
