#FridayThe13th Horror Stream
Our #FridayThe13th horror stream turned out really well! Several people tuned
into our stream while we were playing games such as: Five Nights at Freddys 3,
Among the Sleep, Cry of Fear, and Dying Light. We didnt raise any money during
this event but we were able to get videos of us playing and will be uploaded to
YouTube as soon as possible. We can use these videos to bring more awareness
to us and Extra Life!
GRtist
A huge shout out to fellow Extra Lifer, GRtist, for simulcasting his horror stream
along with us! We believe this helped increase our chances for others to tune in
and watch as we both were playing horror games. Please check out his streams if
you get a chance at twitch.tv/GRtist and help support his hospital in Grand Rapids,
MI!
Stream Themes?
We would like to offer a chance to our followers to select another theme for our
live stream. After completing our horror stream, what else would you like to see us
do? We are open to suggestions and game ideas! Please send us an email at

The Childrens Healthcare of
Atlanta allocates your funds

Chaplaincy: Chaplains

guidance to patients and
families as they seek heal-

Extra Life Atlanta Guild 2015 Kick-off Meeting
Atlanta Guild 2015 Kick-off!
The 2015 Kick-off meeting was definitely a lot of fun to participate in. Cody, Alyssa, and
I got to meet with Rae Bucher (President), Joshua Ahearn (Vice President), and a few
other Atlanta Guild members. We all exchanged introductions including how long and
how we got started with Extra Life. Most of us have been doing it for several years! We
also shared ideas for events that we want to try and participate in as well. More on
events as we hear more about them!
The guilds biggest focus for 2015 this year is to recruit more members to Extra Life.
This is the same goal that our team had as well! Whether its joining our team or making
your own, the kids are the ones that benefits from more people signing up and raising
money! If anyone is interested please feel free to join us or go to the Extra Life website
and make your own team! Lets make 2015 the biggest and most impactful year for the
Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta!
