Extra Life Game Day
Details
Board Game Society will feature its Spring Game Day on April 11, 2026 at Boardwalk from 12-5pm.
---
This event supports Children's Miracle Network's Extra Life charity! Extra Life unites North American gamers (both tabletop and video game) in an effort to raise money for their local children's hospital. I'm supporting Prisma Health Children's Hospital in Greenville. This event takes place on Tabletop Weekend!

To donate, you can head to my Extra Life page starting now. (Click "Donate".) Alternatively, you can bring cash to the event, and I will send a check for all cash donations to Extra Life.
---
For each dollar you donate, you get a bonus ticket in our drawing for new board games! See below for more information.
---
Want another 5 bonus tickets? Of course you do! Taking inspiration from Extra Life's logo, this event's theme is "Things with Wings!" Playing a game that references the theme gets you the 5 bonus tickets. Think, well, birds, airplanes, angels, dragons or even pegasuses ;-).
---
Our Game Days are open to the public and feature all the all-ages "open" (as opposed to "scheduled") board gaming you can stand--bring your own games, buy games or choose games from Boardwalk's extensive library.
I'll do my best to help you get into games. Due to space considerations, don't block playing areas with games--consider leaving some in the car.
---
As an all-ages event, please follow Boardwalk's "watch your language" policy while parents keep their children well-behaved.
---
We will hold a drawing for one or more games at the end of the event (about 4:30pm). You get one (digital) ticket for attending, one for being new to a Game Day or bringing someone new, one per dollar donated, and five for playing a game matching the "Things with Wings" theme.
You must be present and wearing your BGS-provided name tag to be eligible. Winners will select games from the prize pool in the order their names are drawn--maximum one prize per person or household.
