Once again Standing Stone Games, players from throughout the DDO community, and associated friends and family are raising money for Extra Life! Our fundraising through Team Standing Stone Games will help the local Boston Children's Hospital, which provides life-saving treatment and care to children from all over the world.
We hope to raise $20,000 for the Boston Children's Hospital this year, and we're combining forces to hit that goal! Team Standing Stone Games includes both Dungeons & Dragons Online and The Lord of the Rings Online players, developers, and friends. Last year we were the top fundraiser for the Boston Children's Hospital, and we'd love to do that again! Standing Stone Games will be donating an initial $5,000 to kick off our fundraising drive, and we hope you will consider supporting our team as well.
Why Extra Life?
Extra Life is a charitable organization that unites thousands of gamers around the world to play games in support of their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Since its inception in 2008, Extra Life has raised more than $70 million for sick and injured kids. Click here to read more about the organization.

What should I do after I donate?
As a token of thanks, we will again be offering minor incentives to people who donate. Also like usual, if you would like to receive one of these incentives I will need you to send me a quick Private Message so I have a forum display name to provide a code to that you will apply to your account through Redeem Code in the DDO Store in-game.
If you donate at least $10, you will be entered into the various giveaways that will take place on November22nd. If you donate to the team, me, or another Team member, it counts! However, Extra Life doesn't provide me with enough info to match your donation to a forum name, and I don't get info when you donate to other team members, so send me a quick private message through the forums when you donate.
