Extra Life 48-hour gaming fundraiser returns — live and in person
Vermont Business Magazine Champlain College Esports Club will once again join thousands of gamers nationally to raise money for its local Children’s Miracle Network hospital, the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital, this year with a 48-hour marathon Extra Life event.
The on-campus gaming event unites about 200 players and audience members from the school community to play games, participate in tournaments and make donations to fund critical life-saving treatments, innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, and child life services.
The event showcases the hard work and dedication of Champlain College Esports’ players, coaches, managers, and administrative leaders — primarily students — who have turned their passion into a way to help children and their families receiving care from the Children’s Hospital.
