Everyone knows someone who plays videogames. Heck, you may play them yourself, even though your parents said that nothing good could come from spending so much time playing videogames. Well, you can tell your parents they were wrong, because there is a way that playing a whole mess of videogames can benefit people, especially kids.
Extra Life is an organization where people can volunteer to play videogames to raise money for a hospital member of the Children’s Miracle Network. Normally, these volunteers play for 24 hours but this year, because the event date happens to be the same day as Daylight Savings (Nov. 2), we’ll be playing for 25 hours! That’s right, over one whole day of playing videogames to raise money to help sick kids in hospital. That’s more than a good cause, right?
Three of your favourite Kow boys are participating this year (and I can say that because all of the Kow boys are your favourites, aren’t they?). You can probably guess who they are since they’re the nerdiest and social media-est of the three. Devin, Jago, and Stan will be joining thousands of other gamers across North America in an entire day of videogames. Both Devin and Jago are playing in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, while Stan, being a contrarian, is playing in support of the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation.
