Extra Life
Mission: "We play games so that children's hospitals in the United States and Canada have the funding they need. Since its inception in 2008, Extra Life has raised over $70 million USD for sick and injured kids."
“Play Games. Heal Kids.” It’s easy! Gamers go on a 24 hour gaming marathon, often streamed online, to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (and the hospitals’ COVID-19 Impact Fund). Extra Life launched in 2008 to honor a little girl who died of leukemia — the same disease that took my fiance’s younger brother’s life when he was just 4 years old. It’s a special cause for me, and I love that 100% of all donations go directly to the hospitals." - Bill, Content Writer

Minutes for Memories
Mission: "MFM is a 501c3 that creates lasting memories for children ages 5-25 who have sustained long term injures. We do this by allowing them to find enjoyment in something they liked prior to their injury. Our goal is to showcase that their injuries do not define them and they can still live a full life. Whether it is going to a Red Sox game, watching a play or enjoying the latest movie or video game, MFM wants children to see the bright side of things."
A fleeting moment can have an impact that lasts a lifetime. Accidents happen in the blink of an eye, but one moment shouldn't define the rest of a person's life. Minutes for Memories understands that a few minutes of someone's time can provide memories for a lifetime and motivation to continue pushing towards a bright future. We're proud to support an organization that truly exemplifies what it means to Be Human.

Cradles to Crayons takes a three step approach to helping kids in our community:
- New and nearly new children’s items are collected through grassroots community drives and corporate donations.
- Donations are then processed and packaged by volunteers in our warehouse, The Giving Factory.

We appreciate the efforts of this amazing organization and how they are dedicated to Building Together!
