For those just hearing about this now ā€“ Extra LifeĀ is an annual fundraising event where gamers sign up to collect donations from friends and family, pledging to spend a ā€œday of playā€ marathoning video games in support of sick and injured kids. Since 2008, over 100,000 organizations and individuals have participated in the program, raising over $40 million in support of Childrenā€™s Miracle Network Hospitals across the nation.

2018 marks Filamentā€™s first year participating in Extra Life ā€“ but it certainly wonā€™t be our last! Thanks to the generous support of our studioā€™s friends, family, and followers, we ended up raising a total of $1,495 in support of Childrenā€™s Hospital of Wisconsin. All donations raised through Extra Life go towards funding critical treatments, healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and charitable care ā€“ from the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for your support! šŸ‘šŸ‘
