[11.11.13] Extra Life has record-setting make up day

Extra Life

Saturday Nov 10 was the make-up day for the Extra Life charity event and yesterday they announced the most successful day to date. The record-setting make up day led to almost $100,000 in additional funds raised for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals everywhere. This extra cash put Extra Life just $39,000 below the $4 million mark. If that goal is achieved, that would mean Extra Life 2013 raised more money than all other years combined – pretty impressive, considering they were the victim of three DDoS attacks on the day of the big event.

In an attempt to breach this milestone, PlayStation was kind enough to donate 10,000 codes which will grant any donors who give up $20 to the cause a bundle of content worth over $50 for their PlayStation systems. This bundle includes:

·       LittleBigPlanet (PSVita)

·       One (1) month of PlayStation Plus

·       WipeOut HD (PlayStation 3)

·       When Vikings Attack (PlayStation 3/PSVita

·       Extra Life Theme (PlayStation 3)

To grab one of these awesome packs, just head to your favorite sponsor’s page and select the “PlayStation Greatness” level of donation. You should receive a thank you email notifying you of your donation, then on Nov 25, emails will be sent out to the first 10,000 who donated at that level containing a code for the special bundle. Just like all the other donation, 100% of the proceeds go straight to the hospital you decide to sponsor.

There’s still plenty of time to donate. If you’re interested in donating to a wonderful cause, just click the link below, hit the “support me” button, then select the “PlayStation Greatness” level if you’d like the bundle, or any other donation mount of your choice.
