Annual Fragforce ExtraLife Event
Start:

Volunteer Force (SFDC Internal Only)

Details

We'll be gaming (video games, board games, role-playing) for two 12 hour stretches to raise money for our local BC Children's Hospital. Our goal is to raise $10,000 in the 24 hours (that's without matching).

 

Interested in participating? You can help in two easy ways!

 

1) Participate and raise money

Join and participate in the event on November 6th and 7th! This can be for a few hours or for the entire 24 hours. Don’t forget to log your VTO hours. It counts! Note, we would appreciate participants (and any guests) to raise at least $10 for each hour they participate. Please fill out the registration form which includes all the necessary information to signup in Volunteerforce and to join our Extra-Life team (Fragforce). Let us know if you have any issues signing up.

 

2) Donate to the cause - and possibly even win prizes

There will be many ways to donate. Donate to a participants page (we'll be posting often), or through the prize draw. Keep an eye out for more upcoming posts on these!
