About Extra Life
The Origin Story
It all started with a little girl in Orange, Texas...
Extra Life was founded in honor of Victoria Enmon, a teenage gamer who lost her life to leukemia. Each year, more than 30,000 gamers from across the world participate in honor of this young woman, and the millions of children treated each year at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Since its inception in 2008, Extra Life has raised over $100 million USD for sick and injured kids.
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals® raise funds and awareness for 170 member hospitals that provide 32 million treatments each year to kids across the U.S. and Canada. Donations stay local to fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and charitable care.
Children's of Mississippi
Children’s of Mississippi is dedicated to ensuring every child has access to the best possible care, regardless of their ability to pay. By bringing together local businesses, students, gamers, and golfers to raise the critical funds necessary to meet our most urgent needs, our collective impact grows exponentially. Through community support we can improve pediatric care, addressing the most challenging health issues of today, while preventing and preparing for those to come tomorrow.
