Extra Life 2022 Is Here and You Can Join
Our proud partnership with Extra Life continues in 2022. With your support, we've donated over $4 million since the partnership began in 2013, and we'd love to see that number grow higher and higher!
Formed in 2008, Extra Life is an annual fundraising event where people from all sorts of gaming spaces come together to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Donations go directly to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and the local hospitals fundraisers choose to support. For Wizards of the Coast, we have chosen to support Seattle Children's Hospital. It's a great way to give to those in need through the community you love.
Wizards of the Coast was Extra Life's Partner of the Year in 2019 and 2020, and recipient of Seattle Children's Care Award in 2021. The generosity, dedication, and support of Extra Life by Wizards of the Coast gaming communities—Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, MTG Arena and beyond—makes all the difference.
Each year, the Magic community comes together for an annual Magic Extra Life live stream charity fundraising event benefiting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Wizard of the Coast has been a proud partner of Extra Life since 2015. This year, we're continuing to raise the bar with a goal of $2,000,000.
In order to reach our goal, we need your help. Below you can find out how to support this year's fundraising efforts. With a Secret Lair drop, MTG Arena cosmetics, unique Extra Life merch, and a live charity stream—there are more ways than ever to support kids in need!
Secret Lair: Extra Life 2022
We teamed up with some mega-talented kids to illustrate their creative visions of well-known Magic creatures like Birds of Paradise and Sliver Legion. Each of these masterworks was then placed in the capable hands of art superstars Tyler Jacobson, Andrea Radeck, and Steve Prescott for their own layer of creative interpretation! Everyone's results are stunning, which is why it's great that you're getting two copies of each card in the drop—one with the kids' art and another with the professional piece. One of our favorite parts has to be the flavor text, which arose from our conversations with the children.
Fifty percent of each Extra Life 2022 purchase will go to Extra Life and the Seattle Children's Hospital Autism Center. Available to preorder at MagicSecretLair.com beginning at 9 a.m. PT November 4—and ending at 9 a.m. November 7—you'll want to act fast to grab some amazing cards for your deck or collection and support a charitable cause!
