I wanted to take a moment to remind you to keep working to reach your goal!  Send out reminder emails.  Hit up your colleagues at work.  Ask your friends and neighbors.  Put a guilt trip on your family members.  Do whatever it takes to help us raise an enormous amount of money to help with pediatric cancer research and treatment.  You are a hero to these kids!

I also wanted to recognize a couple of people that made me smile!  Theresa and Frank are participating as “fake” enemies to raise money for Extra LIfe!  Their website is super cute and funny.  Check it out!

(http://www.TheresaAndFrankCureCancer.com/).  It looks like Theresa is kicking Frank’s butt right now, so maybe some of you can go to his page to help him out.  Actually, I am all about the girl power.  Screw Frank and go sponsor Theresa!

I want to thank him for using his talent to help promote Extra Life.

Let’s keep the momentum as we head toward the big day.  Be a Hero.  Heal Kids.  October 18.

Another big thanks to our sponsors. Check out what you can get for being a Hero:

Playswitch

In addition to donating valuable banner space on their revolutionary new game trading site, Playswitch is also offering a free gift of 5 switchbucks to every single participant in Extra Life, just for registering to raise money.  Enter coupon code from the email you get from TCH (it should have come today) and apply the Switch bucks toward the purchase of any game, using Playswitch’s patented gameWatch system (http://www.playswitch.com).

Tritton

Tritton stepped up big time, offering up one of its reknowned headsets to each of the first 5 individualsto raise at least $1,000 for Extra Life.  These headsets feature some of the most detailed sound you’ve ever experienced from a headset, bar none (http://www.trittontechnologies.com).

Sumo Lounge

Sumo Lounge showed us what kind of company they really are.  Not only are they donating 5 free Sumo Omni’s to the infusion area (where kids come to get their chemo each day) at Texas Children’s Cancer Center, but they’re also going to ship a Sumo Omni to any individual who raises at least $2,000 for Extra Life (http://www.sumolounge.com).

Extra Life T-shirt

Every gamer who raises at least $192 for Extra Life will have an event t-shirt delivered to them after the event, marking said gamer for what they are.  Heroes.
