Every year, Guy Warner plays games for 24 hours straight to raise money for Primary Children's Hospital. This is the record.
Extra Life is a fundraising program of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Gamers everywhere raise money for their local children's hospital by playing games, often in 24-hour marathons.
Guy started in 2015 with his team the DigiWuts, a small group of Utah gamers who played for Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. It became a yearly tradition: pick a weekend, play around the clock, and pass the hat for the kids.
That is the lifetime record on Guy's Extra Life account: 147 donations received across 8 completed events.
The Daily Utah Chronicle covered the DigiWuts on November 1, 2018, as the team headed into its fourth year of marathons. By that point the team had raised over $5,000 through the years, and the goal for 2018 was $15,000. Three outlets covered the 2018 run: the Chronicle, the Deseret News, and KUTV 2News, whose Pay It Forward feature noted that Mountain America Credit Union donated $500 to jump-start that year's fundraiser.
