The ESA Foundation has announced that they are working with the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals for the 2012 Extra Life nationwide fundraiser. The marathon game session to support various charities is set to take place October 20.
“The passion and commitment of video game players to raise money for our member children’s hospitals has made a tremendous difference for thousands of kids,” said John Lauck, president and CEO of CMNH. “We’re excited for this year’s Extra Life marathon, and thrilled to have the ESA Foundation and the video game industry’s support for this important event.”
“Video games can entertain, educate, and heal. It is a natural extension then that we utilize this remarkable medium to raise funds and awareness for America’s network of children’s hospitals,” said Jenny Lai, vice president of ESAF. “We are proud to be a part of this collective effort to advance medical research.”
