Child's Play

It is nearing the Holidays and I wan to take some time to talk about Child's Play. Not the scary movie but the charity. In 2003 the founders of Penny Arcades started this charity to help sick kids by giving them toys and games. Over it life time it donated over $12 millions. They also give no less then 94% of their donations to the sick kids. They have two big ways of raising money one is their auction diner this year it is in December at Bellvue, WA here people donate their gaming items and the auction money get donated, and last year they made $350,000 in a single night. The other way they get a lot of money is the Humble bundle. This is a pack of indie games where you pick your price and how much goes to the Developers, the charity, or to the humble bundle. They often have one out and it is a great way to give back and try out some lesser known games. They do not have just games they have had music and books too.
