Since you can choose hospitals in the US does this include US gamers? I could put in a few days worth of hours.

It's a worldwide event... this is just info for one team.
You don't need to join a team to participate, can sign up as an individual.

I love what this is trying to do, and am strongly considering it myself, but, can't someone just not even play at all and still get money for the event? How do they organize that? Or do they even truly care if you play the games?

I am all for it, I have already signed up, and have a donation, along side of what I have donated. If anyone wants to help out, I would be more than appreciative (and so would the children I am most certain) if you donated thru me. I am a part of the Xbox Canada team on extra life, so it's going to the same cause.

Signed up as an individual a while ago and should have found out first, but do we have a TA team for this? Wouldn't be a bad idea for next year if we don't.

I went to sign up and search my local hospital but the only options are for zip code not postal code and states instead of provinces...?

I ran into the same problem but don't worry just when you go to sign up don't click on the "Not sure which hospital to support" button for some reason it only lists U.S. hospitals.

Just continue on with the registration (participant type etc.) and it will pop up with a drop down menu of hospitals. Just scroll down near the bottom is Canadian hospitals.
