It’s time to rally your squad and make a difference. The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (SWGOH) team at Capital Games is once again channeling their passion for lightsabers, lore, and community action into a noble cause. On December 20th, 2024, they’ll be hosting an Extra Life stream to support the UC Davis Children’s Hospital of Sacramento. If you’re ready to wield your generosity like a Jedi, here’s everything you need to know.
What is Extra Life?
Think of it as the ultimate side quest, but with a much greater purpose than galactic domination. Extra Life is a fundraising program under the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®, aiming to “Change Kids’ Health to Change the Future.” Donations go towards critical care, innovative research, pediatric medical equipment, and more.
Your contributions help ensure kids get the healthcare they deserve—plus, you’ll snag some pretty sweet in-game rewards. (More on that below, because what’s a Star Wars adventure without loot?)
How You Can Help
Like any good rebellion, this one needs all hands on deck. Here’s how you can contribute:
1. Donate
Choose from three exclusive donation packs to unlock epic rewards.
- $10 Tier – For a small contribution, you’ll get titles, portraits, crystals, shards, and more.
- $25 Tier – Level up your loot with Zeta materials and legendary shards.
- $50 Tier – Go all out for Omicrons, advanced materials, and a treasure trove of bonuses.
🎁 Pro Tip: Donate to multiple tiers to collect all rewards. That’s right—you can stack your loot like a Sith stacks plans.
2. Tune In
Mark your calendar for December 20th and head to Capital Games’ Twitch channel. Watch the stream, support the cause, and revel in Star Wars camaraderie.
3. Share the Cause
Use the Force (of social media) to spread the word. Whether you’re shouting it from your Twitter rooftop or texting your guildmates, every share helps.
