Calling All Trainers: Chicago Extra Life Charity Tournament!
Calling all Trainers from across the Geneva and West Chicago Region! Step into the arena at Dane’s Games Geneva for a night of legendary battles and philanthropy. The Chicago Extra Life Guild is hosting a community charity tournament to support the recovery of young heroes at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
Enlistment in this cause requires an entry fee of $15, with $5 from every ticket directly benefiting Lurie Children’s. The battle format is Standard. The Top 3 Trainers will earn the honor of choosing a powerful ally: a fully evolved classic Pokémon Charizard, Venusaur, or Blastoise exploding forth from a vintage Game Boy cartridge! But the adventure doesn’t end there.

These limited-edition items are only available at official Extra Life events and can be yours in exchange for a donation.
