Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) at UMC Children’s Hospital is hosting our annual fundraiser for Extra Life Lubbock, but we’re doing this bigger and better this year with a fun-filled week of gaming. This weeklong event will include a multitude of events to partake in and features the classic 24-hour video game marathon on November 5th and 6th.
Proceeds raised will continue to provide the latest technology in a healing environment at UMC Children’s Hospital. During the 24-hour video game marathon, local businesses such as Contender eSports, Code Ninjas, Tyler Technologies, Mandry Technology Solutions, Fast Eddie’s Billiards, GameStop, Peoples Bank, Two Docs Brewing Company, Main Event, Adventure Park, Altitude Trampoline Park and Wal-Mart Transportation will fundraise to directly benefit local kids at CMN at UMC Children’s. Supporting in their efforts are our local eSports athletes at Texas Tech University, Lubbock Christian University, Wayland Baptist University, Frenship High School, Lubbock Christian High School, and Lubbock High School.
We want YOU to join us in our quest!
Play ANYTIME, with ANYONE, on ANY game, for ANY amount of time. Sharing your fundraising link and spreading awareness of CMN at UMC Children’s Hospital is our goal!
