Total Amount Raised: $6,384.16
You guys are amazing!!!!
Extra Life's 24 hour marathon will be happening today. We've already raised
$500 for children's charities during G3, and this community can do so much more. Last year we raised $6,000 for this event and I know we can surpass that. Destructoid has prepared a mountain of prizes for the event with the help of so many companies. Thanks to the large number of participants, we are now in charge of 8 hospitals for this event. That number doesn't even include the hospitals from the G3 event 2 weeks ago.
With all of these supporters our reach is now international. We are representing American, European and Canadian children's hospitals. My goal for G3 was to help as many sick kids as I could no matter where they were in the world. This wasn't just about local hospitals for me, this was about getting our community involved in helping as many as we could. We have enough hospitals now to help children in a lot of different places around this country and around the globe.

How will the Raffle work?
First off, my raffle has absolutely nothing to do with the giveaways Destructoid will be doing throughout the event. Tactix has a
TON of games he'll be throwing out to everyone throughout the day. This raffle here is for me to give to the Destructoid Community. I reward kindness, and I will reward you.
For those Dtoiders that leave their Destructoid user name in their donation to any of the hospitals, you will be entered in for a ticket. I was generously given six codes from Monkey Paw Games. We have a goal of $6,000. For every $1,000 reached, I will send a PM with the code to a donator. I want to do this to reward you all. More importantly however, I want to hit that goal.
How to enter your username:
Just fill out the message to participant and make sure it is marked show to everyone. You can still maintain real name anonymity by choosing the "make this donation anonymously" button.
I don't know how Tactix will be running the main show, but you have the opportunity to win 2 or more prizes between the both of us.
Disclaimer: If I can't figure out who you are on Dtoid through your donation, I can't promise you an entry. Make sure to leave a comment.
