Extra Life and Children’s Miracle Network have awarded Daybreak Games its 2023 Extra Life Partner of the Year Award. Daybreak has participated in Extra Life since 2017, raising more than $650,000 for charity and supporting 86 hospitals nationwide. Donations go to local member hospitals that fund healthcare services, innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, child life services, and other hospital needs.
“We are so excited to recognize Daybreak Games as our Extra Life partner of the year,” said Jeff Montegut, Director of Extra Life. “The impact of funds raised by Daybreak and its development studios makes a huge difference in the lives of children treated at local hospitals. The Extra Life program wouldn’t be what it is without their commitment to this cause and the kids we serve!”
The Extra Life Partner of the Year award is given to honor the outstanding achievements of an Extra Life partner. The award is recognition of a partner’s innovation, commitment and impact fundraising for member hospitals and their dedication to the cause to change kids’ health to change the future.
“We'd like to thank the Children's Miracle Network and Extra Life teams for creating and fostering this great program that has made the fundraising process both fun and easy,” said Jenn Chan, studio head of Darkpaw Games. “We'd also like to thank the communities of our players, because without them spreading the word, donating, streaming, and helping fundraise we wouldn't be here today. On a personal level, I'd like to thank all of you here for your tireless efforts, because without the Children’s Miracle Network my family would look very different. So, thank you and as we like to say at Daybreak, make every day well played.”
The community is invited to join Daybreak’s Super Team and participate by supporting one of the four studio teams in the spirit of friendly competition. Each game and/or studio team has set its own fundraising goal and incentives with open invitations for their communities to participate. All funds will go directly to each team’s local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, where they will be used to support areas of greatest need. The individual teams include:
