🎮💙 It’s that time of year again — our annual Extra 🎮💙 It’s that time of year again — our annual Extra Life marathon to benefit Duke Children's Hospital is happening this weekend! Last year, we smashed our BHAG goal and earned a $500 donation from our awesome friends at PayMore Cary — which meant Ryan had to eat a Carolina Reaper pepper live on Facebook while explaining the backstory of Kingdom Hearts! 🌶️😂 @extralife4kids, @ryanmcintee, @duke_childrens

We’re hoping to have just as much fun (and maybe a little less pain) this year — all for an amazing cause!

💯 100% of donations go directly to Duke Children’s Hospital, and no amount is too small.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing the link to help us spread the word and make a difference for kids in our community. LINK IN BIO!

Let’s game for good! 🎮❤️
