Nov 5 Play A Game and Save A Child's Life

Did you know that you can help save a child's life by playing video games?

The Sacramento Indie Arcade Gaming Expo is on a mission to save kids through gaming, and we need your help! We have partnered with Extra Life and the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at UC Davis to help raise funds for our local UC Davis Children's Hospital where thousands of children are treated 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.

We'll be part of a huge international celebration of the social impact of gamers with Extra Life and it's our sincere hope that you'll find it in your heart to support us with a monthly pledge or one-time gift that will go directly to UC Davis Children’s Hospital or that team member's chosen hospital. Your donation is tax-deductible and ALL PROCEEDS go to help kids. Last year, Extra Life raised more than $8 million dollars across the country to save kids, but in 2016 our goals, just like the needs of the kids we serve, are much, much higher. Locally, UC Davis Children’s Hospital raised over $50,000 in 2015. We can't do this without your help. Donating online is safe and easy! To make an online donation please click a participant's name and then click the "Support This Participant" button on this page.

Gamers who help raise funds through their Extra Life account will be able to pick up some sweet prizes at the Sacramento Indie Arcade.

Helping is easy!

Step 1: Join our team page at www.extra-life.org/team/SacIndieArcade. (Registration is free.)
Step 2: Set a fundraising goal & select the UC Davis Children's Hospital
Step 3: Confirm your registration.

Thank you for caring for our kids!

We are a beautiful, misunderstood, and underestimated people capable of more than we realize. Starting with my own family, I want to heal the brokenness we’ve experienced over the generations so we can continue to rise and embrace what is ours. Colonized by Spain, the United States of America and Japan; who were we before others told us who to be? My curiosity and hunger to learn more about my family’s ancestry has been reignited.
