This year, we’ve chosen to play games to help change kids’ health leading up to and as part of Roll20Con, our annual celebration of play and community. There are numerous ways you can contribute, ranging from sharing, shopping, and playing, to donating!

Extra what?

Extra Life is a program that unites gamers from across the globe to help 170 local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across North America! These hospitals provide 32 million treatments each year to kids across the U.S. and Canada; money raised through Extra Life funds critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment, and charitable care.
