In about a week and a half games all over the world are going to be gathering in support of the Extra Life charity gaming marathon that raises money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

This will be my 7th year helping to organize the local Extra Life efforts and one of the questions I get asked is: "What can I do to help raise money, through tabletop gaming?"
