Today we’re doing a video update! See how Rachel and I got along in Week 4 Night in this video edition of the board game challenge!
Week 3 Finale & Week 4 Day 1
Welcome back to another Board Game Charity Challenge update. Rachel and I have raised $325 of our $500 goal for this month’s challenge! If you’d like to donate to our campaign supporting Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital you can do so here. Today’s update is a quick one, as we’re playing a bit of catch up as we’ve been struggling to keep on track with our challenge (but we’ve managed it, all caught up now) due to work, travel and lots…
Week 3 Catch Up (Nights 1 to 3) – Charity Challenge Update
I’m a little late getting this Extra Life Charity Challenge update up and I’m sorry about that! Rachel and I have both been sick and I was away in Philadelphia for the weekend that has made keeping up with our challenge, well challenging. But we’re back and we’ve been playing multiple games every day to keep up with our timeline. To remind everyone why we’re here – Rachel and I are playing board games every day this month to raise…
Week 2 – Board Game Challenge Nights 2, 3, 4 and 5
We’ve had another weekend full of gaming for our Extra Life charity challenge. So far we’ve raised $275 of our $500 goal for Toronto’s Sick Kids hospital. In other great news my team has hit $2,025 of their $2,000 goal. So it looks like we’ll manage to hit our goals all around this year! If you’d like to donate in support of Toronto’s Sick Kids hospital you can do so here. On to the games!
Week 2 – Day 1 Board Game Charity Challenge
On to week 2! Thank you for continuing to follow Rachel’s and my quest to play board games every day of the month of November with the goal of raising awareness and funds for Toronto’s Sick Kids hospital! To date we’ve raised $225 of our goal of $500. If you’d like to donate please visit my fundraising page. Rachel won week 1 so today I picked our game to start off week 2. Want to know how a game is…
Day 5 Extra Life Challenge
We’ve reached the end of Week 1 and it’s been a blast so far raising money for Sick Kids hospital! To date we’ve raised $225 of our $500 goal and we’re so thankful for all the donations and support we’ve had so far. If you’d like to support Toronto’s Sick Kids hospital donate here. No donation is too small and all proceeds directly support children in need. Going in to the final game day of week 1 we’re all tied…
Extra Life Weekend Catch Up & Week 1 Game Nights 3 and 4
What a crazy weekend of charity fundraising fun we had! As I’ve mentioned before I do two things to support Extra Life: 1) Rachel and I do our month long board game tournament challenge and 2) a 24 hour gaming marathon to raise funds. This past weekend was the 24 hour charity marathon and it was a huge success! I’m a little exhausted (24 hours with bronchitis is a bit of a body beating) but thrilled that we managed to…
Day 2 Extra Life Challenge – Qwirkle
Day 2 of our Extra Life challenge has now come and gone! First off I want to thank everyone who has shown interest so far in our activities. So far we’ve raised $25 of our $500 goal in support of Toronto’s Sick Kids hospital. I would really appreciate if you donated and you can do so here. Rachel lost on day 1 so she selected tonight’s game. She thought last night’s choice was a safe bet so she put some…
Day 1 Extra Life Challenge – Patchwork
And we’re back! Another November, another Extra Life board gaming challenge between Rachel and I to raise funds for Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital AND to determine who the 2017 household board gaming champion is. If you want to learn more about what we’re doing and why we’re doing it check out the 2017 Extra Life Board Game Challenge page. We decided since Rachel is the reigning champion she would get to pick our opening game and she picked a toughy for…
Raising funds again for Extra Life, the board game challenge returns!
For the fifth year I’m raising money for Toronto’s Sick Kids hospital. So far thanks to the generous contributions you all have made I’ve been lucky enough to raise $6,681 for this great cause and I’m really excited to be back at it this year leading my own efforts and also captaining the Aureus Knights team (who holy shit passed the $18k raised mark last year). If you would like to donate, I’d be eternally grateful if you did so over…
