Hi everyone!
UPDATE: I know the event has passed, but I would still like to raise some more money for the kids before they close the donation window. I know several people that mentioned they wanted to give, but haven’t had the chance yet. I would still like to make it to $1000.
I just saw this in the hospital newsletter: A breakdown of giving levels.
$15 GIFT OF PLAY – Provides special toys and game that can be used for recreational therapy.
$25 GIFT OF CREATIVITY – Provides art tools like crayons, coloring books, stickers, clay, and art supplies for children to use for art therapy.
$50 GIFT OF LEARNING – Provides items to help the children learn during their stay. These items include books, DVDs, learning software and other educational tools.
Anything you can give is appreciated…Even if it is a dollar! And remember, the hospital gets 100% of the money you give!
I am on a mission to save kids and I need your help.

My local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, Children’s Specialized Hospital of Mountainside New Jersey, treats thousands of children each year, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and injuries from accidents to name just a few.

Your donation is tax-deductible and ALL PROCEEDS go to help kids. ( We asked about credit card and administration fees, and there is another fund that exists to pay these fees so that 100% of your donation goes to the help the kids.)
In 2012, Extra Life raised more than 2 million dollars to save kids. 2013 was New Jersey LAN Party’s first year participating in Extra-Life gaming marathon, and we raised $2,400! Extra-Life just about doubled the previous year total, raising $3.99 million in 2013. In 2014 our goals, just like the needs of the kids we serve, are much, much higher.
I can’t do this without your help. Donating online is safe and easy! To make an online donation please click the “Support Me” at the top of this page for your donation. Thank you for caring for our kids!
