About Uplink & Extra Life
A Uplink our mission is to make better gamers and better humans. One of the ways we do that is by focusing on service to others. Every year we host a 24 hours of gaming charity event. Our event is run through Extra Life, a program of Children’s Miracle Network and all proceeds benefit the Child Life Services at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. In just 3 years we have raised over $60,000!
We also travel to Extra Life United for their annual tournament to raise even more money and its a great opportunity for Uplink kids to meet some of the “Champions” who have been patients at a CMN hospital.
