PlayStation and Extra Life Team Up For Children’s Hospitals

PlayStation believes in the power of our gaming community to do good in the world. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the video game based charity Extra Life to generate a call to arms to the PlayStation community to help raise money for children’s hospitals across the country.

Extra Life is a gaming event benefiting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a nonprofit organization that raises funds for children’s hospitals and the medical treatment, programs and charitable care that is provided to kids in their communities. For years, Extra Life has motivated gamers across the U.S. and Canada to drive donations to their local member children’s hospital, and this year, PlayStation is joining their efforts.

  • This is awesome! I joined Extra Life before this announcement. I have tried to join the PsS team via the link you commented on with spot 7, 11 and others – http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=cms.page&id=1056 but my account hasn’t changed nor have I received any info from Team Playstation. How do I know if this worked? I am currently at just over $1000 raised with 2 weeks left. Thanks

  • I raised $75 over the weeekend !!! Yay! Thanks for partnering with Extra-Life.

    There is an issue with one of my codes. The month of PS Plus.

    When I added the code to my PSN account, it actually only added 7 days.

    Is this a problem on Extra-Life’s end or Sony’s?

  • I want to join, But i have no idea how this works and how the funds are raised. Do i need to buy equipment or start going to a local meet-up to help raise funds? I am still new to Extra Life, but really wanna join up in this promotion.

  • I have signed up, but haven’t joined a team. My goal is that PS4 launch day lineup. I’d love an avatar of the controller with the wings too to show our support! Can you make the last one happen? They already have an avatar file on their site.

  • If you guys aren’t able to participate in the game you can donate to me here if you’d like. I’ve already gotten the prize vouchers and whatnot. I’m doing this for the kids. Not for When Vikings Attack or PS4 launch games. Thanks in advance guys! For the kids!

  • Hi. So I just donated $60 dollars. Never donated to charity before but I have heard of this one and Child’s Play. Anyway, I saw the transaction go through. BUT, when I went to download the receipt for it, it had a link to a .pdf file.

    This is great, I can print it then. However my printer is not working and we have no idea why.

    The government needs a receipt of everything I do purchase or otherwise.

    Someone please help me. Is there a link to their email anywhere that I can send them an email asking to mail me a receipt of the transaction?

    Then again, I have a USB drive around here somewhere so I suppose I can take it to a library and download it from that.

    Also, how long does it take for the “rewards” to come? I haven’t gotten any messages about anything.

  • I am in!!

  • This is my second year doing Extra Life and I was wondering how I can attach my Extra Life account with my Playstation account since I run them out of two different email accounts. I don’t want to miss out on all of the offerings that Sony has for us Extra Lifers.
