Extra Life is a charity that allows gamers to raise money for their local children's hospitals, all by playing games and raising awareness! Since 2015, Nerd on the Street has participated in Extra Life raising money for the St. Louis Children's Hospital.

Want to make a tax-deductable donation to the St. Louis Children's Hospital? You can usually find our currently-active Extra Life donation page at extralife.nots.co (although the link may not work early in the year, as the Extra Life website gets reset on January 1st).
