Our Mission
McMaster Extra Life brings students together through gaming, recreation, and community events in support of McMaster Children's Hospital. As a proud partner of Extra Life and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, we host events as opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Profits raised are donated to the McMaster Children's Hospital helping support the care of children and families in our community.
How It Works
We are now offering easy, hassle-free rentals of our Nintendo gaming equipment to student groups, events, and campus organizations.

100% of rental proceeds go directly to McMaster Children's Hospital.
Game-a-thon
Every year we host our flagship Game-a-thon event, where students game for 24 hours straight to raise money. Our record fundraising round brought in over $5,000 in a single event.
