Win hardware, collectibles, and more in the 2025 Ars Technica Charity Drive

Briefing

This year's charity drive continues the tradition of supporting Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. With over a dozen prizes valued at nearly $5,000, contributors can win exciting gaming gear while helping kids in hospitals and defending Internet freedom.

In 2023, Ars readers raised nearly $40,000, contributing to a total of over $542,000 since 2007. This initiative not only benefits those in need but also fosters a sense of community among developers and gamers alike. It's a great opportunity for developers to give back and potentially snag some awesome swag in the process.

“It's that special time of year when we give you a chance to do well by doing good.”
