Ok I just made a 100.00 donation but I think I had done it wrong on the site? I got the receipt from Extra life but no codes. What can I do??? It looks like I made a donation to the Top fundraisers listing instead of Top teams. Unless that will do it and it takes a while to get the codes?? It is listed as Darkpaw Games than under that Team Captain/Darkpaw games/Daybreak games. So should show up there. I listed it under the name; Sneast

I donated last year but never received the items. I will probably donate again this year but will do it via some other means. There is no incentive for me to donate via extra life.
:) Thank you for donating last year we have been participating "unofficially" in Extra Life for around 12 years, Brassee (Linda Carlson) headed the team in 2014-if I remember right. I made the Extra Life Guild Hall and decorated it for 24 hours straight that year.
Extra Life is more about giving to help children than getting digital rewards and T-shirts and it's been amazing to see the results gamers have pulled together for this cause via Extra Life so I hope you are not sour with them.
Fundraising is never easy and sometimes giving isn't either, times are tough, but if you can it's worth it, and you can always contact CS with any proof you have, there are receipts and tax incentives available on the extra life account page you can just download and send to CS to get your rewards. They made it super easy to submit a support ticket on the main website, updated the tickets, and maintained good communication the last time I used that method.
You could also join the team, I need to sign up this year myself it's been so busy, and then send the link to friends and co-workers, or post it on social media, etc if you can't donate but still wish to help!

Codes are not sent out immediately upon purchase. I will make a post about codes being sent out when it happens, as well as the donation dates that the codes covered.

Also, if you are not a member of Team Darkpaw when you make your donation, you will need to send a ticket into Extra Life and ask them to add you to our team and move your donation there as well. https://www.extra-life.org/contactus

Ok so we really can't just make a individual donation to get the perks?? We HAVE to be a member of Team Darkpaw first than make or pick a team member to donate to in order to get the perks????

You must be a member of Team Darkpaw. The incentives for EQ and EQII are tied to you being a member of our team.

To get the server wide perks, you need to donate to anyone on the team or donate through your name on our team. (This a cumulative total from all accounts on Team Darkpaw from Jan. 1 through the date listed as the end date)
To get the individual perks, you need to donate to anyone on the team or donate through your name on our team.
To get the fundraiser incentives, you should donate through your name on our team or have others donate through your name on our team.

Actually I think I'm ok .........when listing Darkpaw in the search it gives 2 categories: Fundraisers & Teams. When I click on the tab for teams "Darkpaw Games" comes up. I then click on that and then you get Join our team or Donate. When I hit donate it tells you to select the player you want to support & when you get to their page then hit donate. So of course I hit donate to do just an individual donation, in which the listing and /or person I donated 100.00 was listed at the very the top of the page, and that team or person is listed as: Darkpaw Games (Captain). So I think I'm ok for the server wide incentives at least.

SWEET! Keep an eye out for my post of when the first round of codes gets sent. They will go to your email you used to make your donation. (Reminder to always check your SPAM folder as it often goes there, and will come from an @cmnhospitals.org email address).

I agree. I just viewed the digital gifts as a nice to have. I will still donate but will do it direct to St. Jude’s or another children’s charity. This would allow for more of the money donated to be used by the charity. I know every org has to keep some of the donations to cover their admin costs and that is completely fair. I just don’t see the incentive to donate via extra life when the don’t provide the promised items. So i will donate just not via extra life.

I had this same problem last year so it seems to be an ongoing issue, at least for me.

I just wanted to provide an update. I reached out to extra life and there were able to provide me with the codes for 2023. So it all worked out in the end. I just had to take a few extra steps.
