The Extra Life 24-hour Dungeons and Dragons Game For Charity 2026
We're back for another year of throwing dice and raising funds for BC Children's Hospital!
Gather close and witness the adventures of a bunch of nerds as they play Dungeons & Dragons for 24 hours. However, they gather to champion a greater goal still: to raise money for the BC Children's Hospital Foundation and the younglings it benefits. Working with the Extra Life charity organization, they shall march forth to victory, dice in hand and friends by their sides.
This year's game will be held on October 17th, starting at midnight.
Donate and win some epic loot!
As always, we will be holding a raffle for goodies provided by Big Pear and other generous local Vancouver businesses. For every $5 CAD you donate to one of our team members, you will receive 1 entry into our raffle to win one of five prize packs.
