Our Hospital Needs Gaming Heroes Like YOU! Join Extra Life and help Change Kids’ Health

Children’s Hospital Foundation is on the frontlines when it comes to protecting the health of future generations. But we can’t do it alone. That’s where you come in. As a gaming hero For The Kids treated at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital you’re helping change kids’ health and change the future.

We believe when we positively change the health of even one child, we create a ripple effect felt by our communities for years to come. When we ensure our children can lead healthy, fulfilling lives, we foster the scientists, inventors, gamers, and leaders of tomorrow.

You can play games to heal kids by registering and fundraising at extra-life.org. Every dollar raised by you will help kids at our hospital. Kids like Robert.

At nine months old, Robert was refusing to eat, losing weight and would not sleep. Two months later, he turned white as a sheet and became lethargic. After running several tests at his local provider, it was confirmed that he was entering into a diabetic coma. He was med-flighted to Children’s with a blood glucose level of 1189 and diagnosed as a type one diabetic. After a week-long stay he returned home with new tools to combat his diagnosis. At three years old, he started attending a Pre-K program at school and enjoys learning.
