On Friday, Electronic Arts issued a challenge to our communities and the countless communities who have become involved in raising money for Extra Life. The bottom line was every dollar you raised this past weekend would be matched by EA in the form of free games for the brave kids at Texas Children’s Cancer Center, up to $2000.
We really wanted to max this thing out, and get the full 2 grand. Gamers from Belgium to Brooklyn went to work emailing their friends and families, asking for their support. The result?
They succeeded. We blew past the 2000 mark! We’re getting the full 2,000 dollars-worth of video games from EA for the kids at TCH.
But you’re not off the hook just yet. We’re asking you to give us 5 more days of solid pan-handling to your friends, coworkers, family and neighbors. Extra Life starts at 9am (local time) on Saturday, and there’s still plenty of time to gather enough money to make a huge impact on the total.
If you’ve been procrastinating, NOW IS THE TIME. Sign Up. Donate. Do something. Please.
Extra Life is a 24-hour video game marathon to raise money and awareness to fight pediatric cancer. Find out more at http://extralife.sarcasticgamer.com.

Damn it, EA keeps becoming a better and better company. Glad I was able to raise a bit of money this weekend to help out.
Woho, Belgium FTW :’ )
It’s a nice gesture by EA though
We boycott them and they still support us by giving games to Texas Childrens Hospital. You gotta love them.
Once again, thanks for organizing this Sarcastic Gamer!
Kudos to EA, you guys kick ass no matter what people think.
procrastinating, such an awesome word, i must promulgate this.
