Daybreak Game Company is thrilled to announce that it’s reached a major milestone during its Extra Life 2025 fundraising campaign, joining the ranks of fewer than 10 organizations that have raised $1 million for the charitable organization. All of that money has gone toward supporting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals nationwide.

Daybreak Games was named Extra Life’s Partner of the Year Extra Life Award in 2024, thanks in part to the collaborative role that the company and its tight-knit player base have built since they began raising money for the organization in 2018.

“We continue to be humbled and uplifted by the generosity that our fans have demonstrated over the past seven years,” said Ji Ham, CEO at Daybreak Games. “Our passionate in-game communities continue to show up each and every year to make a difference to children and families in the real world. We truly couldn’t have reached this mark without their unwavering support.”

“This milestone is truly driven by the generosity of Daybreak’s community and the innovation of Daybreak itself,” said Chelsey Crowne, Extra Life Manager at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. “Daybreak has found creative ways to engage players and offer in-game opportunities that both reward participation and make a real impact. That combination of the willingness to leverage its platform and their community’s enthusiasm to get involved is the secret sauce behind this partnership’s success.”

Players past and present are invited to join Daybreak’s Super Team and participate by supporting one of the six studio teams in the spirit of friendly competition. Each game and/or studio team has set its own fundraising goal and incentives with open invitations for their communities to participate. All funds will go directly to each team’s local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, where they will be used to support areas of greatest need.
