The Child's Play Charity, created by Mike and Jerry of Penny-Arcade, has been something I've personally supported since it's inception. Like Extra-Life, it's a charity drive that's used to benefit sick children and children's hospitals around the world. Child's Play has grown from humble beginnings of toy donations to an epic undertaking collecting toys and money for over 70 hospitals worldwide in an effort to give these children an amazing holiday. Last year Child's Play raised over 3.5 million dollars. That hopefully brought a lot of smiles.
With that Co-Optimus would like to officially join the cause. The way we're doing that is with a raffle drive. Our goal is to raise $2000 while also giving those who donated their chance at some sweet prizes. For every $5 donated through our official Chip-In widget, you'll earn one chance at winning a prize. Here's our current list of prizes, which we hope will grow over the next three weeks until the drive ends on December 7th, 2012. So be sure to check back often and see how the list grows!
